Ruston's Roses

Ruston's Roses is Australia's National Rose Collection located on the Sturt Highway near Renmark in South Australia's Riverland. Established from a private collection begun in the 1920s, it displays more than 4,000 rose varieties and around 50,000 bushes across 11 hectares. The garden is notable for its extensive heritage and modern rose displays, seasonal flowering, and its role as a major Riverland visitor attraction with cafe and nursery facilities.

Visitors can expect an 11-hectare landscaped rose garden with thousands of labelled rose varieties arranged in formal beds, arches and walkways. The setting is flat and open on the edge of the Murray River floodplain, with gravel and lawn paths, shaded seating areas, a cafe, gift shop and nursery. Visitors can walk at leisure among blooming roses, photograph displays, join guided tours when available, and purchase roses and garden products.
