Roses Are Red

Violets are violet, whatever they tell you.

One of the enduring legacies at our main vineyard, Redbank, from the days when it was a government research farm for horticulture, are several astounding rows of roses.

They look humble enough, but their aroma is almost overpowering. They  are in fact scent roses, old fashioned varieties bred not really for their appearance, but to be used for perfume. Pretty heavenly.
