The garden features a two theme display with a rose design; a Federation Leaf dedicated to Australian roses and the David Austin Bud showcasing roses of 46 cultivars and the garden pathways act as a rose stem, leading from the Tudor Rose petals, to a leaf and a rosebud.

With over 5,000 roses on display the rose garden is a magnificent sight when in bloom from November to April.
