Di Baker

Welcome to A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose. I’m an amateur gardener growing roses in the cool-climate country town of Orange, Australia. If you’re as passionate about roses as I am, you’ll feel right at home here. I share the stories, history, names, quotes, and practical tips I’ve gathered while gardening through four distinct seasons.

Join me as I celebrate the beauty, fragrance, and joy of growing old-fashioned roses, climbers, modern shrubs, and standard roses—alongside a colourful mix of perennials and herbs in my rural garden.
