Every year the National Rose Trial Garden of Australia holds an Awards Presentation in October. The winning roses from the trial are announced at this event.
The National Rose Trial Garden of Australia was initially established to simply trial roses not yet commercially released in Australia - be they bred in Australia or overseas. This charter remains today and incorporates the following:
- To identify and promote those roses best suited to Australian growing conditions.
- To develop and promote Australian Rose Breeding.
- To provide general information on roses to the public.
- To provide feedback to rose breeders, growers and retailers as to those roses judged by the public to be the most popular.
