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 every day and the roses are still blooming.
However deadheading has stopped now as we want the roses to slow down and ultimately drop their leaves which will make pruning much easier! Pruning starts on Wednesday 2nd June.
Please refer to Parks Vic Website below for the latest updates when planning a visit to Victoria State Rose Garden. https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/sites/victoria-state-rose-garden
