Scented Rose - The
The Scented Rose features a display of David Austin Roses in Tasmania’s Huon Valley. Located on a hilltop overlooking the Huon River at Glaziers Bay, the Scented Rose is 50 minutes’ drive south of Hobart (70 kilometres/43 miles).
When you walk through the Scented Rose’s 1.2 hectare (three-acre) garden, you’ll breathe in the fragrance of a 30-metre (98 foot) border of David Austin Roses – a collection representing each Austin Rose currently available in Australia. The roses are intermingled with perennials and there are tapestry hedges of rugosa roses and a 70-metre (230 foot) rugosa rose hedge along the entrance driveway. Take the Rose Walk beneath five arches covered with old roses and clematis, with a massive display of Alberic Barbier forming a backdrop to the border. Other features include National Trust-classified topiary hedges, a 13-metre (43 foot), wisteria-draped pergola, and an informal park with thousands of daffodils, making a wonderful spring display.
You can take a guided walk or audio tour of the garden. Garden notes and maps are available and workshops in garden design, photography, pruning and cultivation can be arranged.
Opening times are: 10am to 5pm each Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday during November. Other times by appointment.
