Summer Rose Event 2025
Rose Weekender
Well, we have another treat for you all this year, something for all rose lovers we hope. A chance to see brand new roses and learn about how they are judged before they are made available to the public.
This is what we have in store for you;
Saturday
10.30am Arrival and welcome with teas/coffee
Our experienced rosarians and rose judges will explain the whole trials process; the how, the why; the method; the roses
There will be guided tours of the trials when we will have the opportunity to test what we have learned and judge some roses ourselves
A debrief to see how we have done and maybe find a winning rose. Remember these are new roses so you’ll be getting a chance to see
tomorrow’s roses today!

14.00pm The Storyteller Garden aka Martin Stott presents an illustrated talk on The History of the Rose
