Some of these varieties are in small numbers, as little as 5 plants only, so you'll have to move fast.

We have just a few more new releases to come, and we are still waiting for Standard roses to arrive.

Just remember standard roses come in two sizes. Short and tall.
The short are around 60cms, and the tall are 90cms. Roses look more spectacular on the taller stems.

The chains have introduced the shorter standard because they know you ring up and ask "How much are your standard roses please?"
Be careful.
Make sure you're comparing apples with apples.

If you love perfumed Rose Bushes come and see us. We specialise in fragrant roses.
Most on our list have been chosen for fragrance. Others have been chosen because they have great vase life or high disease resistance.

If you only have room for four rose bushes it's hard to beat Mr Lincoln, Blue Moon, Double Delight and Just Joey.
These colours just seem to look great when planted together, and they all have amazing fragrance, and great vase life.
Enjoy.

If you've already got these tried and tested varieties, we have new releases too.
We get these from a nursery in Victoria.
The labels are spectacular.
You can see the flower you'll be getting.
They usually have a fragrance rating on the label too.

It's rose season, so I'm sorry if you're not a rose lover. I grew up without a love for roses, because my mums roses bushes, were behind our soccer goals and the thorns killed our soccer balls on a regular basis.

I've grown to love them now.
The perfume is amazing.
They make great cut flowers too!

If you are more into Native Plants, we have a brand new Grevillea called "Raspberry Dreams". It was bred by Digby Growns at Kings Park Botanic Gardens.
This exciting new Grevillea has Raspberry coloured bird attracting flowers, every day of the year!!!!!!!

It grows just 1.5 ms high by 1.5 ms wide.
It's the perfect sized native shrub, for today's courtyard sized gardens.
It can be pruned to any size.

It's drought hardy once established.
It's non prickly.
It's going to be a winner.

Advanced plants, that are covered in buds and flowers are just $29.99.
We have 30 plants only.
It will save you a trip to Western Australia.
