About

The spectacular Gardens of the American Rose Center are located on a 118-acre wooded tract near Shreveport, Louisiana. The gardens are home to the national headquarters of the American Rose Society. We are the nation’s largest park dedicated to roses. The gardens were dedicated in 1974, when the American Rose Society headquarters moved to Shreveport, Louisiana from Columbus, Ohio. Today, the American Rose Center features more than 65 individual rose gardens and 20,000 rosebushes, with a variety of companion plants, sculptures and fountains, including the beautiful Dudley Watkins Reflection Pool.

Enchanting wedding and event garden oasis with a chapel, ballroom, outdoor spaces, and tent area. To give you a better idea of what we offer, I have linked a video HERE of a beautiful tented wedding we hosted at the garden. We hope this give you a glimpse of the magic and elegance that can be part of your special day. We would be delighted to offer you a personalized tour of our garden. During the tour, you can explore our various wedding setups and envision how your special day could unfold in this enchanting setting.

American Rose Garden

Loved the venue with all the beautiful roses, chapel, beautiful bridal suit, and reception hall. The venue was just what we were looking for! It had the flowers, painting and artistic feel, as well as the areas needed for getting ready, preparing the food, and much more. Truly is a stunning venue and the staff and the venue, Mrs. Lou, is amazing! She does everything in her power to make sure not only your day goes prefect, but that everything is beautiful and how it is supposed to be.

Booking a Wedding.

I emailed the wedding planner at the American Rose Center, and was sent a response email within 1 hour. The wedding planner answered all of my questions thoroughly in her responsive emails, and then found a date and time for my mother and I to come meet with her. After our meeting with the wedding planner, my mother and I knew this was the perfect place to book my wedding. Working 24 hours we had the wedding and reception booked, and we both felt a since of relief about the wedding! I am excited beyond words to have my wedding at this location. I know everything will be beautiful.
