This is a seriously disease free rose bush from the vast rose growing experience of celebrated Australian rose breeder and ribbon winner Trevor Grant. Plenty of colourful blooms on a good upright grower gives rise to its vigour and unbelievable disease resistance. Loves the old cut and snip, just grows on back carrying more and more bountiful blooms. Named for the “Father of Australias, Governor Macquarie as part of the Bicentenary celebrations of his Governorship. (1810 to 1821) Governor Macquarie would have been proud that at last the Aussies are beginning to beat the rest of the world in rose breeding too.

Released to commemorate the centenary of the Victorian Rose Society in 1999, the first Rose Society in Australia. This floribunda is capable of growing 60cm to 90cm high and produces double, bright yellow blooms in abundance. In the cooler months the blooms have a fine red pencil edge. It is well worth growing.

Re: Ausrose of the Year 2015
I certainly agree with you Brettv68 they are all very beautiful roses. I have all of them growing and wouldn't part with anyone of them. I think this group and many other Australian bred roses show the are every bit as good as imported roses.
Thank you Brett v68 and David for entering into the spirit of things and posting a selection. Also David thank you for the thumbs up. If the boss gives you the thumbs up you have to be doing something right.

Victoria Gold for me. I've grown it and it's a worthy rose.

Re: Ausrose of the Year 2015
A very good choice Barbara B. In 2008 at the National Rose Society of Australia Inc. Conference associated rose show in Adelaide a vase of Victoria Gold won a special Royal National Rose Society award which I believe it was the first time such an award was given to a vase of roses outside of England.

Re: Ausrose of the Year 2015
I was the link between Trevor Grant and the Hawkesbury Council that led to what was Grant seedling becoming the rose Governor Macquarie. As part of the Governor Macquarie bi centenary celebrations a bed of the celebration rose was planted in front of the Windsor Library. The planting of the bed was quite an affair with the NSW Governor along with the State President of the Rose Society of NSW and Hawkesbury Mayor Bart Basset planting individual bushes. For those interested in breeding one of the parents of Governor Macquarie is Folklore and it is an extremely tall grower.

Re: Ausrose of the Year 2015
If I had to choose a second one, it would be very close between Flemington Racecourse and Governor Macquarie.

Re: Ausrose of the Year 2015
Trevor did tell me a number of years back but unfortunately I can't remember. It hasn't been documented anywhere according to what I am aware of and it maybe lost forever.

The general consensus in NSW is Let's Celebrate hasn't lived up to expectations however I have two bushes of it and am quite happy with them.
