Toowoomba visit and new plantings.

Laurel Bank Park Toowoomba 29/9/2013

In the previous blog we detail some information and a translated Roses inventory from East Talgai Homestead 1869-1925.
This subject took us to visit  members of Heritage Roses in Australia, Darling Downs branch and talk on the subject at the home of Bonita and Peter Cattell.
While in town we took the opportunity to visit "Harrow" hometead at Cambouya and Coroneos nursery for some hard to get plants.
Plants added in early October to "the Shambles".( most from Coroneos)
