Welcome
Welcome to the Victoria State Rose Garden website. With over 5000 roses (covering about 5 hectares), the Victoria State Rose Garden is 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.

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW IN THE GARDEN?
Roses are still blooming well in most areas. Constant visitors are finding many beautiful photo opportunities in front of magnificent blooms.
The volunteers are working hard every Wednesday and Saturday morning deadheading the roses. This promotes the quick development of new flowers to keep the wonderful display of roses continually renewed. (More Photos @ Garden Seasons)
A vibrant show of flowers was displayed in the Trial bed in Petal B on 13th February. Which rose will find a permanent home I wonder?

Formal Entrance for the Victoria State Rose Garden
The improvement was long overdue with visitors previously unable to locate the garden entrance due to foliage and inadequate signage. It is now easy to see the large Metal Entrance Arch from the car park. It has State Rose Garden inscribed and a side panel showing the plan of the 4.5 hectare garden.
