Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden, Bulla Marysville Memorial Garden Mornington Botanical Rose Garden Morwell Centenary Rose Garden Nieuwesteeg Heritage Rose Garden, Maddingley Park Victoria State Rose Garden The Victoria State Rose Garden was originally opened in 1986 in the shape of a Tudor rose with five petals. Each petal has 25 beds of modern roses, one cultivar to each bed separated by five avenues of standard roses. Each petal is surrounded by 18 festoons of climbing and rambling roses and 18 weeping standards. 1997 saw the first Heritage border set up on the fence line between the garden and the Mansion and this was expanded in 2000. There are now 262 heritage species and cultivars in the Heritage Border with a further 75 heritage cultivars in the rest of the garden. This, we believe, is one of the best heritage collections in Australia.	Kurinda Nursery, Warragul Reliable Roses, Silvan Wild Rose Nursery, Yellingbo
