Celebrating the Golden Anniversary of USM's iconic All-American Rose Garden

The All-American Rose Garden, located on the Hattiesburg campus of The University of Southern Mississippi, has been a cherished landmark since its establishment in 1973. Home to a wide variety of roses, the garden enhances the beauty of the Southern Miss campus and provides inspiration, education and tranquility for students, faculty and visitors. For many, the garden serves as a space for reflection and rejuvenation—a place to take a moment away from the demands of academic life or to celebrate special milestones like weddings, graduations and family gatherings.

Join us as we honor this vibrant landmark. The purpose of this campaign is to ensure the garden's preservation and impact on future generations. With your support, we can enrich our community's connection to nature by maintaining the space, cultivating new rose varieties and enhancing educational programs. 

Together, we can preserve this beautiful landmark as a timeless source of inspiration and tranquility for years to come. Please consider making a gift today. All gifts benefit an endowment supporting the maintenance and preservation of the award-winning All-American Rose Garden.  

Here's to 50 years of growth, memories, and the continued beauty of our Southern Miss family!
