Roses have proven to be one of the great garden survivors in what has been one of the longest, hottest, driest summers we have experienced on record.

Late autumn, early winter is the time you should be planting them out into your garden, not only do you get the best success rates but you also save a fortune as buying bare rooted is the most cost effective way to establish a rose garden.

Swane’s Roses are renowned world wide as one of the best quality growers and because of the International focus they are able to bring to Australian home gardeners, the best new varieties from across the globe.

They are currently growing a sensational new range of drought tough, prolific roses called the Simplicity Collection. This collection reminds Trevor of many of his favourite varieties but they are far improved as they have bigger flowers, are beautifully perfumed and have great disease resistance.

One thing about them that you will really love is that they are really low maintenance. All you have to do is trim off the old flower heads after they have finished flowering and four to six weeks later a spectacular rose is displayed.
