After three dramatic days, a dedicated team of rescuers led by DELWP (Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning) safely cut Tangles free.This rose is dedicated to Tangles and the daring rescue team. These beautiful whales once occupied the waters of Southern Australia in vast numbers but were almost wiped out by commercial whaling. They are now listed as endangered. Through the work of dedicated volunteers and the Federal Government, they are showing signs of a slow recovery.$2 from the sale of each Tangles rose will be donated to the South-Eastern Southern Right Whale Photo Identification Project run by SWIFFT (State Wide Integrated Flora and Fauna Teams) to help the monitoring and research into this majestic mammal.ANNUAL ROSE PRUNING DEMONSTRATION DAYJoin us in our display garden on Saturday the 1st of June for our Annual Rose Pruning Demonstration Day.Become your own rose master pruner!

Remember, no matter what your taste in roses, plant one for the Bees!(pictured above: Mind Games) SOIL PREPARATION is best done at least two months in advance of planting. Therefore it is good to start now.View our soil preparation guide for more information.Tasks for autumn rose care:FERTILISE: do this now! Only fertilise in early to mid autumn. Do not fertilise close to winter.View our rose fertilising guide for more information.SPRAY REGULARLY: Due to the added moisture in the air during autumn, fungal diseases such as black spot and mildew can become present.Spray regularly to prevent pests or diseases rather than treating them after they arrive. If there are pests are present on your plants, spray at first sign and perform a follow up spray a few days later.Remember to always use ecofriendly or organic sprays where possible. There are plenty on the market and many home remedies that have been proven to work.COMPANION PLANTING WITH ROSESCompanion planting is a fantastic way to enhance the natural beauty of your roses and increase the visual appeal of your garden. Not only that, companion planting can be an effective method of pest control.(Pictured above: Princess Anne) Remember, we are here to help!
