Set on a hill over looking the seven acres of spectacular display gardens of Melville Nurseries, the Rose Heritage Café presents itself with breath taking views. The nursery has been in operation since 1978, whilst the Café is still relatively young, opening its doors in 1997. Both business’ are run by the Melville Family with Bob & Robbie working in the Nursery & Tania in the Café.

The Café & Nursery are set on the historical Mason’s Mill site, the first Jarrah mill in Western Australia & the area is said to have been the first settlement immediately out of Perth. The creek that runs through the centre of the Nursery (in the wet seasons), Mundies Brook, was the first creek dammed to catch water. Bickley Reservoir & Victoria Dam, the first dams in Perth, are picturesque historical sites located just a few minuets drive from the gardens & Café. Bob Melville has commissioned local artist Barry Evans to paint some beautiful pieces reflecting the history of the area, which can be viewed in the café.

The Nursery has fast become a popular spot for Garden Weddings, with Melville Nurseries displaying the largest collection of Roses in the State. Hybrid Tea’s, Floribunda’s, Climbers, Standards, Weepers, David Austin’s, Alister Clark Roses, Guillot Roses to name a few can all be found down in the Nursery!

Please, sit back relax & soak up all of the history & beauty that the Rose Heritage Café & Melville Nurseries have to offer!
