A rosy disposition for the garden
What’s not to love about roses? Fragrant, romantic and endlessly varied, they bring colour, scent and life to the garden. Their flowers attract pollinators, fill the garden with perfume and, when there’s enough to spare, make beautiful cut flowers for the vase. With varieties to suit almost every space and style, roses are remarkably well suited to Tasmanian gardens, from compact bush roses to climbers and ramblers that can transform a wall, fence or arch.
Find the right rose for your garden
With so many different types of roses available, choosing the right one comes down to how you want it to grow, flower and fit into your garden. From classic Hybrid Teas to generous Floribundas, fragrant David Austins and easy-care modern shrubs, there’s a rose for almost every space.
Choose by range
Hybrid Tea
The classic choice for long-stemmed, elegant flowers. Hybrid Teas produce large, beautifully formed blooms, often one flower per stem, making them particularly good for cutting. They’re ideal for a dedicated rose bed or as a feature plant.
Floribunda
Floribundas produce clusters of flowers rather than individual blooms, creating a fuller, more abundant display. They’re excellent for adding colour over a long flowering season and work beautifully in borders or planted in groups.
Modern Shrub Roses
For a more relaxed, natural look, modern shrub roses combine abundant flowering with a generally bushier habit. They’re versatile garden plants that can be used in mixed borders, cottage-style gardens or as feature shrubs.
Smooth Touch®
Smooth Touch® roses are bred with reduced thorns, making them a particularly appealing choice for gardens where you want the beauty of roses without quite so many prickles. They’re useful near paths, entertaining areas and other places where you’ll be brushing past your plants.
David Austin Roses
David Austin roses are loved for their old-fashioned flower forms, fragrance and romantic character, combined with the repeat flowering and garden performance of modern roses. They’re a natural fit for cottage gardens and anyone who wants scent and nostalgia in equal measure.
Brindabella Roses
Brindabella roses are bred for Australian gardens, with a focus on repeat flowering, good garden performance and attractive, healthy foliage. They offer a wide range of colours and forms and are well suited to gardeners looking for reliable performers.
Delbard Roses
French-bred Delbard roses are known for their beautiful flowers, strong fragrance and distinctive colours and forms. Many have a wonderfully romantic character, making them a lovely choice when fragrance and flower quality are high on the wish list.
Choose by habit
Climbing Roses
Climbing roses bring height and drama, using walls, fences, arches and pergolas as their support. They’re perfect for adding vertical interest and can transform an otherwise plain structure into a feature of the garden.
Standards
Standard roses are trained onto a clear stem, creating a small tree-like form with a rounded crown of flowers. They’re particularly effective lining paths, framing entrances or adding structure to formal gardens, and they can also work beautifully in pots.
