Scented Rose

The Scented Rose features a display of David Austin Roses in Tasmania's Huon Valley. Located on a hilltop overlooking the Huon River at Glaziers Bay, the Scented Rose is 50 minutes' drive south of Hobart.

When you walk through the Scented Rose's 1.2 hectare garden, you'll breathe in the fragrance of a 30-metre (98 foot) border of David Austin Roses - a collection representing each Austin Rose currently available in Australia.

The roses are intermingled with perennials and there are tapestry hedges of rugosa roses and a 70-metre rugosa rose hedge along the entrance driveway. Take the Rose Walk beneath five arches covered with old roses and clematis, with a massive display of Alberic Barbier forming a backdrop to the border.

Other features include National Trust-classified topiary hedges, a 13-metre, wisteria-draped pergola, and an informal park with thousands of daffodils, making a wonderful spring display.
