Nestled
at the back of Russell Road in Marewa, this inner-suburban garden is home to an
ever-growing variety of roses. Planted in 1951, the collection now encompasses
5000 individual roses and 500 named varieties of covering bush, standards,
weeping, climbing and prostrate rose forms. A prominent feature of the garden
is a 90-metre long display of climbing roses and a small fountain in the centre
of the garden. The rose display usually peaks around mid-November; however,
these fragrant beauties can be enjoyed from October through to April. Park your
car along the Russell Road frontage and take a wander.
