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.
The Victoria State Rose Garden is open and the roses are blooming beautifully.
Volunteers can return to the garden from Thursday 18th Feb.
Our main jobs of dead heading and weeding will continue!
