National Rose Garden, Rose garden in Parkes, Australian Capital Territory.
The National Rose Garden contains over 2,000 standard and climbing roses arranged by color throughout symmetrical garden beds shaped like petals.
Established in 1933 as Australia's first national gardening project, the garden emerged from cooperation between the Commonwealth and States with contributions from 38 public organizations.
The garden serves as a national center for rose cultivation research, bringing together horticultural societies and gardening clubs from across Australia.
Visitors can access the garden throughout the year, with peak flowering seasons offering the most complete experience of the rose collection.
The garden's layout forms the pattern of an open rose when viewed from above, with beds arranged to represent individual petals.
