The Grand Valley Rose Society and its parent organization, the American Rose
Society, are nonprofit organizations dedicated to promoting the enjoyment and
cultivation of roses. This Rose Show continues our tradition of sharing our love
of roses with others in our community.
The Grand Valley Rose Society offers educational programs on the various aspects
of growing roses, as well as hands-on gardening activities to learn and share
rose care techniques. Another focus of our organization is to provide
opportunities for socializing and enjoying the company of other rose
enthusiasts.
For membership information, please ask at the Rose Show Registration Table or
contact our Grand Valley Rose Society President, Wanda Valencia, at 858-9431.
Our Secretary, Nancy Anderies, is also available to provide information. She can
be reached at 245-2752.
Show Schedule and Clarification
Roses will be placed on the exhibit tables in alphabetical order in
each class in Division I.
General Classes will be expanded to create a class for each variety considered
worthy in Division I and entries of merit in Challenge Classes. No award is
required for any rose or class.
The decision of the judges shall be final in determining the merits of
individual roses and awarding of ribbons.
In most cases, an exhibition bloom is considered at its most perfect phase of
beauty when it is one-half to three-quarters open with petals symmetrically
arranged in an attractive circular outline tending toward a high center.
Rules and Regulations
1. The show will be governed by the standard rules and regulations of
the American Rose Society. The final authority for a rose show is its own
schedule and should be followed as printed. However, when ARS awards, other than
ribbons, are in competition, the rules governing those awards must be followed
or the judges must decline to give the awards.
2. Only one person or team from one garden may make an entry of a variety in a
Class. Duplicate entries will be disqualified. All blooms in Specimen and
Challenge Classes must have been grown in the exhibitor’s own private outdoor
garden or a garden maintained by the exhibitor.
3. All specimen roses exhibited must be correctly named on entry tags provided
by the Society and entered according to the following schedule. Entry tags
should be filled out entirely by the exhibitor and left unfolded for
classification. Entry tags must be attached to the entry with a rubber band.
Preprinted labels are suggested for speedy entry and ease of reading.
4. All exhibitors must register at the registration desk. This is necessary for
tabulation purposes.
5. Entries will be accepted from 7:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. on Saturday,
September 23, 2006. No late entries will be accepted. The show will be open to
the public from 1 until 4 p.m. Awards will be presented at 4:00 p.m., and no
prizes or roses may be removed until the show closes.
6. Containers will be provided for all Horticultural exhibits in Division I.
Except when noted, no foreign material other than plastic wrap, which may be
used as wedging material, will be permitted on any rose stem. If plastic wrap is
used, discretion in its use is advised to avoid distracting from the rose
presentation.
7. The placement of all specimen roses and most Challenge Class exhibits will be
handled by the Placement Committee from the Classification Table. Entries in
Challenge Classes 2, 9, and 10 must be placed by the exhibitor at the
appropriate location before 9:30 a.m. No exhibitor, other than those entering
Challenge Classes, will be allowed on the floor during the placement of entries.
If a person is officially assigned to a job, that person can be in the area
assigned.
8. Judging will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Only Judges, Clerks, and necessary
show personnel will be allowed in the immediate show area during judging.
Judging will be done by ARS Accredited Judges who may be assisted by Apprentice
Judges. Decisions of the judges will be final.
9. Any specimen may have unwanted side growth, side buds, and/or spent blooms
removed to improve the appearance of the specimen, subject to penalty due to the
degree of impairment.
10. Judging will be based on a comparison approach to perfection of the
individual variety. At the time of judging, an exhibition rose should be in its
most perfect phase of beauty. Grandifloras and Hybrid Teas shown as sprays or
inflorescences should display all blooms as near to exhibition stage as the
variety permits. Specimens in fully open classes must be fully open and the
stamens must be easily visible. Length of stem should be in proportion to size
of bloom. Foliage should be clean and free of spray residue.
11. Entries in any class calling for one bloom per stem must be shown without
side buds. They may have been disbudded manually or may have grown naturally
without side buds.
12. Due caution and care will be exercised in safeguarding exhibits and
materials furnished by the exhibitors. However, the Grand Valley Rose Society
cannot assume responsibility for injury or loss to persons or property.
13. All Rose Society members will be expected to assist in the clean-up
operations at the end of the Show.
Disqualifications
1. Misnamed, misclassified, unlabeled, or mislabeled roses.
2. Stem-on-stem: a rose exhibited with a portion of the previous growth
attached. However, Old Garden Roses may be shown stem-on-stem with the exception
of one-bloom-per-stem Hybrid Perpetuals, Teas, and Noisettes.
3. Presence of a foreign substance applied to foliage, stem, or bloom to improve
the appearance of the specimen.
4. Specimens not disbudded. Any class calling for one-bloom-per-stem specimens
must be disbudded to remove any side buds. A side bud is defined as growth
emanating from a leaf axil having sufficient maturity to display the formation
of a stem with or without flower buds. The presence of one or two leaflets or
leaves at the leaf axil with no evidence of a stem is a penalization but not a
disqualification.
5. A specimen in violation of ARS rules or local Society rules that apply to
this show.
6. A specimen variety not registered with the ARS.
7. The appearance of the exhibitor’s name in any location other than the
designated place on the entry tag.
8. Improperly named roses. Roses are to be exhibited by the recognized ARS
exhibition name.
9. Any arrangement shown with purchased or indoor-grown flowers.
