Peony Roses look exotic and temperamental and yet they are hardy and grow well in cool to temperate Australian gardens.

You will have to be patient for at least one year before you can enjoy the flowers of Peony Roses, but the wait will be justified for many years. Dark green foliage is a magnificent backdrop for the variety of rich coloured blooms that are available. A wonderful cut flower, the delicate fragrance of Peonies will waft through your house and you can savour the scent.
