Potpourri for Rose Lovers and Gardeners | The Rose in Art
Now up to book number 25 Trevor still has something new to say. He will present some surprising, and maybe shocking information about growing roses in Australia from the violent racist attacks inspired by 19th C journalism on gardeners to the hidden slavery of a few leading Colonial era rose growers. Surprisingly early free traders, whalers and missionaries played a part in the spread of roses in the early days of the colonies. The history of growing roses in Australia wasn't all nasty, there were times and places when beauty reigned and even moments of great achievement but who actually did the work keeping rose gardens and rose nurseries attractive and productive?
Drawing on old photos, nursery catalogues and other sources Trevor will provide an interesting and entertaining background to Australian garden history you may never have thought about.
