"Victoria Gold" is a floribunda rose released to commemorate the Centenary of The Rose Society of Victoria. It was bred by Eric Welsh of Erina, NSW. A vibrant golden yellow floribunda with red margining of the petals (varies with climatic conditions), it is a showy plant which gives masses of colour on a compact growth habit. Excellent for bedding and long lasting as a cut flower.

Diary Dates for Your Calendar

Please note all Monthly Meetings of the RSV are held at the St James Anglican Church Hall, Corner Burke Road and High Street, Glen Iris at 8pm (Melway Reference 59 H 8).

The Committee endeavour to make each meeting as interesting and informative as possible so that members may add to their store of knowledge of roses and rose growing.  Meetings are usually finished by 9.30pm, followed by supper. At most meetings a mini rose show competition is held where members may practice their show bench skills and new members may learn how to show roses and get on-the-spot advice from the experts. Members are encouraged to ask questions.

Visitors are most welcome to attend.
