Rumsey Rose Garden
The gardens are inside Parramatta Park, near the corner of Hunter and Pitt streets, and were named in honour of the late Heather and Roy Rumsey.
The Rumseys donated two of every species of heritage rose they had stockpiled at their Dural nursery for more than 45 years.
The Rumseys donated two of every species of heritage rose they had stockpiled at their Dural nursery for more than 45 years.
The result was more than 500 heritage species and old garden roses.
The gardens were officially opened in August 1995.

I have been endeavouring to purchase an OPHELIA rose without any success.
I live in Melbourne and have had no luck finding one here.
Do you know where I might find this rose.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Truly sorry for the very late reply. This went past the radar.
Anyway, I don’t know where to get one either but I’ll let you know when I come across them.
