Neue Review Rose Bloom - St Kilda Botanical Gardens, St Kilda

            The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a very beautiful place to visit, not least for all for their wonderful array of roses found in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden.

"Neue Review" is a very interesting variety of hybrid tea rose created by the famous German rose breeders Kordes in 1962.  What I love about this rose is its colours in the bloom, and how it changes as it ages.  Classified as a red blend, it starts out with a rich vermilion and white petals when it buds.  When it blooms the petals are flooded with vermilion, and then as it ages the colour drains from it, leaving a mixture of vermilion and pink, like a dancer's skirts in a review!

The site of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens were established in the 1800's.  The municipal council petitioned the Department of Lands and Survey to make this segment of land bordered by Dickens Street, Tennyson Street and Blessington Street a Botanic Garden.  The gardens were formally established in 1859 when a boundary fence was erected.  By 1907 significant donations of money and plant material had led to the establishment of a rosary, extensive flower beds and a nursery.  Exotic forest trees were planted during the 1870s and Australian species were included in 1932.  In the 1950s the Alister Clarke Rose Garden was established and a Sub-Tropical Rain-forest conservatory added in the early 1990's.
