Victoria State Rose Garden, Werribee

Home to around 5,000 roses, it's no wonder you can smell the fragrance as soon as you walk through this entrance to the State Rose Garden.
Werribee park
Red roses, yellow roses, red and yellow roses, orange roses, pink roses, white roses and my favourite of the day - a blue rose. 
Not exactly blue today, but this purple lilac Blue For You will make you forget the colour and just breathe in the divine fragrance.

We chose a circular lawn (the Leaf area) surrounded by roses to have a picnic lunch in the sunshine.

Just kidding - you don't have to have green thumbs.
