Let's talk roses! This section of our Rose Society web site is devoted to current topics of interest to our members.
Entry for August 23, 2008

The Society has added a new Challenge Class for the fall show.  The Challenge Class VII (the Margaret B. Larson Memorial Trophy) will be offered for the first time.  For you exhibitors, this is an exciting challenge.  Why not be the first to win this trophy.  The challenge requires six roses:  2 Mini-floras, one variety, and four miniatures, 2 varieties (2 and 2).  The entry should be grouped with the mini-floras side by side and the 4 miniatures side by side placed in front of the mini-flora.  Each rose is in an individual container.  This is a “keeper Trophy”.  Give it a try! 


Don't forget the auction.  Judging from the roses Ralph Stehle had at the picnic potted and ready for sale, this should be a good auction.  This is the ideal way to get bushes grown in our region at rock bottom prices.
