Friday 15th October 2010
Roses in Renmark's Streetscape
Special thanks to the Renmark Paringa Council for their sponsorship in past festivals, and again for this, our 16th festival.
Renmark is justly famous for its beds of roses consisting of 3,500 bushes, mainly planted in beds of one variety and stretching from Renmano on Renmark Avenue to the centre of the town and beyond to the hospital, the council chambers, the cemeteries, the tennis courts and the Information Visitor's Centre. There are 51 beds in all, flowering for nine months of the year and mostly using recycled water.
We must thank contractor gardener, Scott Petersen, for his diligence in dead­heading, pruning, fertilizing and keeping the beds immaculate with continuous flowering whatever the weather.
All the citizens of our lovely town must thank the council for giving us such an amazing tourist attraction, which impresses all visitors to our region.
The brochure identifying the town garden roses and Renmark rose walk/drive is available at the Renmark Paringa Visitor Information Centre, Renmark Institute and the Renmark Paringa Civic and Community Centre.

David Ruston has committed his life to the floricultural world. In 1968 David began the Ruston Rose Garden, now the largest private rose garden in the Southern Hemisphere and home of the National Rose Collection.
He has lectured and demonstrated flower arranging throughout the world. David is uniquely brilliant in his field, using his knowledge, skill and creativity to support communities and organisations locally and globally. His enthusiasm and generosity has been the hallmark of his life. David has received many prestigious awards culminating in being elected President Emeritus of the World Federation of Rose Societies in 2009.
The Public Art work to honour David, “A Life in Flowers” by Janette Moore and John Draper will be unveiled by the President of the World Federation of Rose Societies, Mrs Sheenagh Harris.
