It's all in the blood - The Charm of Heritage Roses


The Charm of Heritage Roses (downloadable 433KB file) was one of five feature articles in the 2007/08 edition of 'Australia's Open Gardens', the annual guide of Australia's Open Garden Scheme, listing gardens open each year under their auspices. 2007/08 marked the 20th anniversary of this not-for-profit Scheme.

While the words were mine, most of the photographs were kindly provided by Diana Fickling, Julie Lack, Pat Toolan and Billy West.

Additionally, it was generous of Noelene Drage, Diana Fickling, Susan Irvine, Penny McKinlay and David Ruston, each from different states, to nominate their favourite Heritage Roses for inclusion in the article. Susan Irvine also nominated her top ten Alister Clark roses.
