GARDENING with GRAHAM
Graham visits the home of the most famous roses in the world, David Austin Roses. Being specialist growers of the Old Fashioned, Shrub, Climbing and Modern Roses there is nothing this family doesn't know about roses. The David Austin nursery is releasing five new varieties of roses and the legendary rose guru himself has invited Graham for a behind-the-scenes tour of his nursery, including a demonstration of his breeding techniques that has enabled David Austin to create the equivalent of a 'designer brand', in the world of roses.

This is the perfect time of year to visit some of Australia's best gardens, they're all open and looking at their brilliant best. Graham takes time out and visits beautiful Gowan Brae, a beautiful Rose and Perennial garden in the Southern Highlands of NSW. While there he shows us the lovely hot colour border and gives us some great Rose tips for this weekend including planting tips and pruning at this time of year.
