Be guided through the enormous range of over 5,000 roses plants, at their beautiful late Spring peak. Our guide, especially for the HSoV, is one of the devoted and very knowledgeable volunteers who tends the gardens. Pass through the beautiful archway entrance to the gardens laid out in the shape of a Tudor rose, with collections like ‘David Austin roses’ and ‘Australian Federation Roses’. Even the borders are a mass of roses.
The Victoria State Rose Garden covers 5 hectares with some best collections of roses in the southern hemisphere and has received the “Garden of Excellence” award from the World Federation of Rose Societies.
Getting There:
