As the days warm up, a Brisbane rose garden is flourishing after surviving flooding rains earlier this year, once again proving that Queensland's weather is no match for the bright blooms.
New Farm Park's rose garden, located by the Brisbane River, currently holds 7,000 rose bushes throughout its 15-hectare leafy grounds.
Starting in 1914, the heritage-listed park began with only 800 roses, but by 1940 the state's tourism bureau reported that more than 20,000 plants were growing at the popular picnic spot.
