ROCKY MOUNTAIN DISTRICT ROSE SHOW - 2004

The Rocky Mt. District of the American Rose Society held its 2004 Convention and Rose Show in Colorado Springs, Colorado on June 25th, 26th and 27th.  The Pikes Peak Rose Society served as hosts for the occasion.

Mary Mastin, Wanda Valencia and Nancy Anderies attended this three day event.  The Rose Show  was open to everyone and there were entries from Boulder, Denver, Longmont, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction and, of course, the public.

The three of us took roses to enter from our own gardens as well as the Memorial Rose Garden at the Botanical Gardens.  Since we tend the roses at the Memorial Garden we are eligible to enter these in our name.

While we did not win all the ribbons, we came home with these:
