Before one purchases a rose it is better to actually see the rose as sometimes photos can be quite misleading. One of the problems associated with Aussies (ABR) very few of them are about in places where they can be seen so often purchasing an Australian bred rose becomes like buying a pig in a poke. These days however there are a number of gardens scattered throughout Australia that do have quite a few Aussies (ABR) on public show and are well worth a visit.

One such garden Victoria State Rose Garden that has over 50 Aussies (ABR) as well as both modern and heritage roses form all over the world.
