Ericvale Roses

12/11/2016

November is peak time for roses in our garden at ‘Ericvale’ and should not be missed. Those who love roses will have read ‘For the Love of a Rose’, about the creation of the Peace Rose and will be able to see it in bloom in our garden. The Himalayan Musk Rose over the pergola at the front of the property is a sight to behold as it mingles with Albertine.

You’re welcome to call in and wander through our open garden but even better, organise a group of 10 or more and book a Devonshire Tea with freshly baked scones, lashings of cream and a selection of our eight jams, all made by the Tasmanian Gourmet Sauce Company. Try our newest jam, Rhubarb and Strawberry, for a very interesting flavour and versatile product.  If you want a real treat, then book our Gourmet BBQ, with a selection of salads from our organic Potager Garden as well as local meats. Contact us for more details.

After visiting us in Evandale, why not see the roses in bloom at Woolmers Estate, just a 10 minute drive away. If you come on a Sunday, be sure not to miss the Evandale Market, which is open every Sunday from 8:00 AM.   ericvale_roses_tasmanian_rose_gardens_4

Stay for an hour or a day to soak up the beauty of the garden and the views over the Eastern Highlands.
