[or-roots] Rosaria, Oregon

[Nancy Lee Adams]

Eugene,   
Ok Now, don't laugh because I can not find a real town of Rosaria, Multnomah
Co. OR.? I have been researching most of today : )
Could it maybe have some thing to do with the Rose Festival Queen, King &
the mythical realm of Rosaria? 
We need help with this one...   

Portland's Rose Gardens and Rose Garden Store | Rose Festival History This
page talks about the history of the Portland Rose Festival. ... It is the
most popular family event in Oregon and the largest parade in the Pacific ..



From 1908 to 1913 a king, Rex Oregonus, ruled over the festival. The
identity of this king was kept secret, and he wore a huge beard to disguise
himself until his identity was revealed at the festival’s annual ball. In
1914, a Rose Festival Queen, selected from among Portland’s socialites, was
again chosen to rule. This practice continued until 1930. From 1924 to 1929,
Rex Oregonus returned to rule along with the Queen of the mythical realm of
Rosaria.

I was doing some research and came across the name of a city in Multnomah
county that I have never heard of.  The name is Rosaria.  Does any one know
where this city was located?
