Nieuwesteeg Heritage Rose Garden (Maddingley)
Nieuwesteeg Heritage Rose Garden is a collection of rare and unusual roses, mostly hybrid teas, which were bred in the early 20th century. The rose garden was established from 2009, with stock donated by rosarian John Nieuwesteeg.
The garden is located on the south side of Maddingley Park, Bacchus Marsh near the entrance from Bacchus Marsh railway station. Six beds of roses are arranged around the bandstand and some roses climb up the base of the bandstand itself.
There is a substantial group of roses bred or found in Australia, including rarities by Alister Clark, Olive Fitzhardinge, Frank Riethmuller and Patrick Grant. Others are unusual or unique in Australian public collections.
