The Victoria State Rose Garden is Australia’s largest and best-maintained public rose garden. So make sure to stop by in November to enjoy the annual State Rose and Garden Show hosted in the gardens.
Held during the beautiful Melbourne Spring season, you won’t want to miss the blooms at this year’s annual State Rose and Garden Show. The free event will take place over two fantastic days in November.
State Rose and Garden Show, 2025 Dates & Program, Werribee Mansion
Across the weekend, the gardens will transform into a kaleidoscope of colour as the spring sunshine lights up over 5,000 rose bushes. The manicured lawns will host numerous garden exhibits, plant stalls, food trucks, and live music, making it a must-see event for visitors of all ages.
The State Rose & Garden Show is free for all ages; however, a gold coin donation is encouraged to assist the Victoria State Rose Garden Supporters (volunteers) in maintaining the garden.
Getting There
Located just 30 minutes West of the Melbourne CBD, on-site parking and event traffic management systems will be in place. So, there is no better excuse for a spring picnic with family and friends amongst the shade of the blooming rose vines.
