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!
