SP3277 : Memorial Park rose garden

Memorial Park rose garden
A rose garden was installed in 1931 and was originally a circular garden of display beds. During the 1950s / 1960s it was expanded with the addition of several more beds (see
SP3277 : Rose garden, War Memorial Park c. 1968 ). Later, the beds and park generally suffered from a lack of maintenance but in the 2010s major refurbishment took place including restoration of the rose garden to its 1930s style, seen here, using more disease-resistant varieties than previously.
