Victoria State Rose Garden

The Victoria State Rose Garden has over 5000 roses (covering about 6 acres) and 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 Rose Garden is open from 9.30 am to 6 pm during daylight saving time and from 9.30 am to 5 pm during the winter months.

Normally it is open to the public 365 days a year but rarely Parks Victoria host a paying event where the public is excluded from the Garden (Once in the last five years).

If coming by public transport catch a Werribee train from Melbourne and then the 439 bus which will take you right to the entrance.

The best month is November when the spring flowerers are out as well as the main Tudor Rose but there are plenty of blooms from mid-October to the end of June.

So come and smell the roses.
