Adelaide lays claim to being the Rose Capital of Australia
- About 60% of the cut roses sold in the country are cultivated here
- A rose festival is held biennially
- There are numerous public rose gardens within the City and the metropolitan area and many private gardens feature roses
- The Adelaide International Rose Garden located in the Botanic Gardens has extensive plantings
- The National Rose Trial Garden of Australia, also in the Botanic Gardens, trials roses not yet commercially released to determine their suitability to our climatic conditions.

Beautiful roses..one of my favorite flowers. Didn't know that Adelaide was the rose capital.
One of my favourite flowers, especially the ones with strong scents. Great job for our R-day! :D
Roses aren't my favorite flowers, but I do love the yellow ones best.
My R posts are here and here. Happy midweek to you!
Those are lovely roses you have! What a lovely rose garden! My mom killed all her rose plant because of a feng shui tip to her :P I miss her rose garden!

Beautiful roses. I choose roses for the scent. there's nothing worse than seeing a gorgeous rose and sticking your nose in to find - nothing!
I love roses, but like Liz says, they must have a scent - just a small one will do!
