I'm visiting relatives in Brisbane for Christmas and want to see rose gardens, preferably teas, noisettes and OGR's. Seems that all the great places are in the west or south sides of the country. Is there anyplace I can go? What about New Farm? Also any great nurseries that are must see in QLD?
Thanks,
Sonbie

Hi Sonbie. I will look into this for you, if you like ?
I live in N.S.W. but I am now a member of the Heritage Rose Society, and this year Queensland is taking their turn of publishing their journel.

Thank you, yes, I would be very grateful for any information you might find. I know that they are holding their next conference in Brisbane, hopefully they also can grow roses there.

Yes.. There is a Rose Garden at New Farm Park.. Sadly Qld does not have that many Rose Nurseries now as many closed down in the drought a few years back..

There are no rose nurseries in Brisbane itself you have to go out a bit to the west to find any, towards Toowoomba way. There is Barton Rose farm and Maxine's Mainly Roses both a hours drive west of Brisbane not even sure if they have the type of roses you are after.. http://www.mmroses.com.au/

Here is a link that might be useful: Barton Rose Farm..

I rememberd yesteday and finally got around to emailing the Heritage Rose Society today and had a email back by
evening or earlier.
As Misty Morn said there is 'New Farm Park' at Brunswick street, New Farm. Which is a inner city suburb of Brisbane. Easily accessibleby by car, bus or City Cat Ferry. Free entry. Open 7 days.
The other garden suggested belongs to or is run by
Leonie Kearney, 'Roseval Homestead', 922 Mt Samson Rd, Samsonvale. This is a outer rural area of Brisbane. It is about 30 kms from the city centre, only accessible by car.
You will have to make a appointment. Only open on Saturday.
Phone 07 3289 9250.
I hope you have a good trip !
