Heritage Roses at "The Shambles" recognised on a National Plant Collections Register


Tea Rose 'Isabella Sprunt' 1855 USA a sport of Safrano
Our growing collection of Heritage and Old Fashioned  has been entered in the National Plant Collections Register of Garden Plant Conservation Association of Australia.
We hope that this registration will assist in some small way for future visitors and follow garden enthusiasts to recognise the importance of maintaining the diversity of species in gardens.The Heritage Roses in Australia group has done a great deal to promote interest in, and to preserve these roses wherever they are found.We hope it also inspires gardeners to maintain inventories of the plants in their gardens to assist in garden plant conservation. 
We are pleased to be members of Garden Plant Conservation Association of Australia, Heritage Roses in Australia and the Australian Garden History Society.

Living Rose inventory, ‘The Shambles” Montville 2014, 
Old roses, grown almost exclusively from cutting form the basis of our collection. Most are Tea or China type roses but there is always room for more modern and Australian Roses.
Many of the roses listed are well established and flower freely. Some are less successful, due to reduced disease resistance in our humid climate and reduced sunlight in some areas of our shady garden.
There is no irrigation system.
Supplemental feeding with Sulphate of potash and Epsom salts together with organic material does benefit our roses.
Limited and judicious pruning is done as they do not always survive aggressive pruning in our warm climate.
