Treloar Roses was founded by the late Ted Treloar during the early 1960’s. He started selling rose plants from his nursery located at the back of his fruit and vegetable shop. Frustrated by the problems of obtaining newer releases and quality roses he purchased some land and began a life long career in growing roses. His dedication to the industry and passion for roses saw the business grow into Australia’s leading rose nursery.

Mail order

It was during the 1960’s that Ted saw the potential in sending bare root rose plants direct to customers by mail order as they travelled extremely well during the winter dormant season. In 1966 he produced the first of the now famous colour catalogues and the mail order distribution has continued to grow every season since, supplying direct to the public and retail nurseries Australia wide. Today we grow the largest range of roses offered by mail order in Australia.

Tucked away on the far south-west coast of Victoria, it boasts many natural attractions, including wide sweeps of beautiful beaches, rocky headlands and little secluded coves. The coastline gives way to undulating farming country and National Parks with walking tracks and picnic areas.
