The vivid red blooms of the Kordes rose ‘Florentine’ cover an archway and gate, both decorated with sprays of ornate metal rose flowers and foliage, making a characteristic entrance to Christine’s Cottage Garden. Over 80 roses grow in garden beds, over arches and cover fences. Jampacked amongst them are a vast and varied selection of flowering shrubs, perennials, annuals and bulbs.
General entry to this garden is $10, and $8 for Open Gardens SA Members and for those with a Commonwealth Government Pensioner Concession Card or Health Care Card. Under 18 receive free entry. Visitors are encouraged to bring cash as EFTPOS facilities are not always available.
