Somewhere in the Hills and about 25 km from the city of Perth, lies a hidden gem in Carmel called Rose Heritage Cafe and Nursery. My auntie, who's passionate about roses, has been talking about this place for a long time, so I think it's high time for me to check it out. Armed with slightly vague road directions, pulled from from memory from my cousin who frequently visits the place, we successfully reached the place in time for afternoon tea.
Right next to the carpark is a little pond filled with gigantic kois. To our surprise, the fishes literally rose above the water when somebody threw food at them. They got on top of each other just to get that morsel of food.
After watching that spectaculare feeding frenzy, we climbed to the little cafe situated on top of the hill. If you sit outside you can see the shallow valley below where rose bushes grow. I bet that this place would be filled with roses if we came at their peak blooming time, like in October in Spring.
M ordered an ice tea, perfect for the hot summer day, and in the ice cubes were select rose petals - surely homegrown. Next time I come to visit this place again, I'll be here for breakfast when the air is cool and the roses are in full bloom.
