[or-roots] Rosaria, Oregon

[E V Barnes]

I had cousin who was queen of the Rose Festival.  I have not been to once since about 1937, with my aunt, her
mother.

        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?
