Heritage Rose Garden is the only heritage rose garden in the southwest region of Western Australia.
Heritage Rose garden comprises 300 different heritage roses and more than 600 rose bushes. It contains the oldest known variety of rose which is said to date from 3000BC. The memorial section within the Rose Garden was created in 1995 as a tribute to soldiers that risked and lost their lives fighting for their country. A plaque in the garden reads: "Heritage Rose Garden Heritage Roses, WA Officially opened Nov. 4th 1984 By Sir Charles Court AK, KCMG, OBE. Created by N. Frost By the grace of god."
The garden was planted in the early 1980s by retired army officer Major Noel Frost. Frost sent requests all around Australia for heritage roses. After Frost's death in 1987 the heritage rose garden was nearly lost; however a group of volunteers formed the Friends of the Heritage Rose Garden Group to keep the garden going. The garden was extended in the early 1990s by caretaker Ron Ward as a war memorial for local fallen and former soldiers of WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Alister Clark roses were used for the memorial garden. Lots 201, 202 and 206 Henry Street were purchased by the Shire from the Anglican Church in 1992. Rare roses preserved in the garden include: Peace 1902, Hugo Roller 1907, Molly Sharman-Crawford 1908, Lady Edna (HT, 1981 bred by Noel Frost).
