Showing Roses?
Much can be learned from visiting a Rose Show.

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns
or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses!

.........Abraham Lincoln

Showing roses is not difficult and in many cases you don't even have to be a Club or Society member. There are thousands of Rose Societies and Clubs across North America and Europe and many of them host an annual Rose Show. Showing Roses is not for all rose gardeners. Many will not want to enter such a forum, but we can all learn from just "visiting and viewing", the vast variety of colors and blooms, and the various forms they can take.

Ideas of what grows well in your area, ideas of what combinations of colors or hybrids grow well together, or the opportunity to meet other like minded Rosarians to swap anecdotes, information and ideas are all by-products of a visit to a rose show.

The annual rose show is the window through which we all share our beautiful roses. It's a great motivator to grow better roses, and it's the principle opportunity for rosarians to show the world the vast potential and beauty of roses.

Roses are beautiful on the bush. They are also beautiful, cut and displayed. The practice of the art of showing roses will teach you ways to best present the beauty of the cut rose. In fact, few of us can learn to grow the best roses unless we show them! The judges will tell you how your rose compares to the best that particular rose can be........and meeting people who genuinely love roses, people from all walks of life: that's what it's all about.

Seek out the nearest Rose Society and ask about the nearest Rose Show. Visit, study, meet, greet and enjoy.
