Victoria State Rose Garden |
The Victoria State Rose Garden has over 5,500 roses (covering about 6 acres) and one of the tourist gems of Victoria.
Awarded the International Garden of Excellence by the World Federation Of Rose Societies in 2003, it was the first rose garden outside of Europe to receive this Award and the only one (at that time) cared for entirely by volunteers.
The first roses were planted in October 1981. The Garden was officially opened to the public in November 1986. The Heritage Border was added in 1997 and extended in 2000. The Australian Leaf was planted in 2000 and offiially opened in 2001. The David Austin Bud was also planted in 2000 and officially opened in 2001.
Australian Roses
There are no roses native to Australia. A collection of Australian-bred roses can be found in the Australian Leaf. This Leaf was planted to celebrate the Centenary of Federation of Australia. Roses from each Australian State, covering the years 1901 to 2001 are represented and as many as possible of Australian rose-breeders.
So come and smell the roses.
The Victoria State Rose Garden is normally open every day and is free to visit.
