Story: Showpiece Roses
Episode: 18
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
Air Date: 13 December 2025

A sneak peek at the new, easy-care and beautifully fragrant Showpiece roses heading to Australian gardens.

• Australian Horticultural Trials Week is where new plant varieties are tested in real Australian conditions. Breeders showcase their latest genetics, growers place orders, and major retailers like Bunnings plan what Australian gardeners will see in stores in the coming years.
• For decades, Anthony has introduced superior plant genetics, best known for the Flower Carpet® Roses, the world’s best-selling groundcover rose collection, which proved roses could be easy-care, disease-resistant and prolific bloomers.
• Using the same strict criteria, Anthony applied this breeding philosophy to shrub roses, resulting in the Showpiece™ Fragrant Shrub Rose series. These own-root roses don’t require grafting, produce large blooms, and combine old-world rose beauty with modern disease resistance.
• Available in a stunning range of colours, Showpiece™ roses thrive in garden beds or large pots. Their rich fragrance makes them ideal for patios, balconies and entertaining areas, bringing beauty and scent right where you spend the most time.
