He proposed landscaping the then new Visitor Information Centre as a Rose Garden tourist attraction for Cowra and the district.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The gardens are easily accessible at the intersection where the Tourist Centre is located. Well worth taking the time to “stop and smell the roses” .... even off season, they are beautiful. The gardens are stunning and well set out. Stop by the tourist Centre for further information.

Needed a bit of tlc, I think if we came at a different time of the year that it may look amazing. We'll stop again next time and see if the gardens have had the attention they appear to need.

It is obvious a lot of thoughtful planning had occurred here. It is sad to see the flowers in decline because of the drought

As a Canadian gardener, I found it interesting to see the varieties of roses that grow in this part of Australia, a few were familiar, but most were new to me, but very interesting nonetheless.

great scenic spot right out the front of the visitor information centre and the cafe on the main highway in Cowra. beautiful garden!
Not massive but really nice to sit or walk and have a rest stop while it was a lovely day.

It was very much in need of having the dead heads removed, but the roses that were still in bloom were very pretty. As it's near the Information Centre we did look at it, but wouldn't o out of my way to see it.

This is a great place to stop as you enter Cowra from Boorowa. It is on the main road with plenty of easy accessible parking. Toilets are available and clean. Cafe has a large menu and service was efficient. Coffee was a little too hot, couldn’t drink it until Molong! Banana bread was nice however we had it takeaway and didn’t open it until we were driving and there was a butter packet but no knife.
Will stop again.
