While in the Garden, don't miss the opportunity to take part in the People’s Choice Award.
Over a two year period, roses from local, interstate and overseas breeders are grown in the National Rose Trial Garden of Australia to see how they perform. The trial garden is located in the International Rose Garden (B6 on the Adelaide Botanic Garden map)
At the end of the two years, the roses are assessed by a group of rose society and rose industry members.
Awards are presented to the winning breeders/introducers at an Annual Awards Night held in Adelaide. As well as the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Certificate of Merit awards, there is the very prestigious People’s Choice Award.
This is where we need your input....
Enjoy a stroll around the trial garden to view the cultivars nominated on display. From these, choose your top five roses in order of preference. You can choose according to your own likes, be it fragrance, colour, type of bloom or type of plant (Mini, climber etc).
Make your vote on:
Saturday, 25 April: 12noon to 4pm
Sunday 26 April: 10am to 4pm
The results of the People's Choice Award provide an excellent insight for rose breeders and retailers as to the type of roses which are popular with the public.
