Memorial Rose Garden

Memorial Rose Garden Park is located at 800 Brooks St. The Memorial Rose Garden was established in 1946 as a memorial to Missoula-area casualties of World War II. Among the attractive features of the park are the American and Montana state flags, which are lighted 24 hours a day, symbolizing the enduring honor paid to those who gave their lives for their country. The Blue Star Memorial Rose Garden Bronze Plaque, located in the southwest corner of the park, was erected by the Montana Federation of Garden Clubs. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, located in the northeast corner of the park, was dedicated in 1989. The Korean War Monument, in the northwest corner, was dedicated in 1997. The Policemen’s Memorial was dedicated in 2000 and is located to the southwest. Veterans of America's conflicts in Grenada, the Persian Gulf, Panama, and Korea, as well as urban firefighters, are also honored with memorials in the park.
