    The National Rose Gardens is an accessible open area with level access pathways throughout.

    The Rose Gardens were developed at a time when flight was still in its infancy, yet were planted to resemble two roses when viewed from above. The idea was put forward in 1928 but no work was undertaken until 1933, when the Minister for the Interior, John Perkins, planted the first shrub and announced that 2000 of the planned 8000 roses would be planted within a week.

    The beds are located on either side of the central lawn in front of Old Parliament House and are open for all to enjoy.

    Accessible toilets can be found at the Rose Gardens & accessible parking at Parliament House.
