General Information

     The Connecticut Rose Society seeks to advance the interest in roses and to acquaint the public with the beauty and use of roses.  We welcome and, in fact, urge all growers of roses to enter the show regardless of the number of bushes they grow.

     For rosarians, exhibiting roses is not viewed primarily as a competitive event.  Rather, rosarians exhibit for enjoyment and to gain insights into growing superior roses.  Most of all, rosarians exhibit to share with the public their love and appreciation of growing America’s national flower.

     The Connecticut Rose Society will hold a meeting on preparing roses for exhibition on Sunday, June 6.  This program will be an opportunity for first-time as well as experienced exhibitors to learn exhibiting skills or to sharpen existing ones.  The meeting will be at the Pond House in Elizabeth Park at 2:30pm.   All are welcome.

For those who have never exhibited roses, a special novice category is included in this show.  The category provides beginners the opportunity to learn while participating.

                                                          General Rules and Information

1. Exhibitors do not have to be members of the Connecticut Rose Society to exhibit in the show.
2. Rules of the American Rose Society will be observed for exhibiting and judging.
3. All entries must be grown outdoors.   No garden shall be represented by more than one exhibitor.  However, a couple or family may exhibit as a team and then may not exhibit individually.
4. This is an alphabetically arranged show.  Exhibitors are responsible for correctly placing their own entries in the appropriate locations in the exhibition area. 
5. The rose show preparation area in the Pond House will open at 6:30am for exhibitors to begin preparing their entries for judging.  Exhibitors must have their entries correctly named and classified on official entry tags and placed on the show tables by 10:30am.  Entry tags and vases will be provided by the CRS.   An experienced exhibitor will serve as an ‘exhibitor’s advisor’ to answer questions and help novice exhibitors prepare their entries.
6. A limited number of tables are available for set-up.  It is recommended that exhibitors, especially those arriving late, bring their own tables for set-up.  Show materials are available on a first come, first served basis.
7. Date of introduction of Old Garden Roses should be listed on the official entry dag accompanying the entry for that class. Date of introduction may be verified in the latest Handbook for Selecting Roses or Modern Roses 11                                                                                                                 In addition to registered roses, most other commercially available roses are eligible for exhibition.  The authority for classifying roses as to name, color, type and eligibility will be the latest edition of the America Rose Society Handbook for Selecting Roses, supplemented by Modern Roses 11, the current edition of The Combined Rose List, registration information in the American Rose Magazine, the ARS Annuals, and the Book of American Rose Registry published by the ARS.   Past editions of these publications may be used to verify the eligibility of roses not listed in the current editions.  It is suggested that exhibitors provide this information on roses they enter that are not listed in current editions to chair of judges prior to the start of judging.
8. Unless otherwise indicated in the rules, an exhibitor may make more than one entry in a class provided each entry is a different variety.   For example, in Class 1 – Hybrid Tea, an exhibitor may enter one bloom per stem varieties such as Signature, Touch of Class and Gemini; but may not enter two blooms with the same name, e.g.  two Geminis.
9. Decisions of the American Rose Society judges are final.  The judges use the following point scoring formula in evaluating entries:

Form………..……….………..25 points      Stem and Foliage……………………………20 points

Color………………………….20 points      Balance and Proportion……………………..10 points

Substance……………………..15 points      Size………………………………………….10 points

10.  Wedges may be used to give specimens a more erect pose.  However, they must be inconspicuous and may not protrude above the top of the vase.   Green foam wedges or clear plastic wrap are suggested as the appropriate material for propping up blooms.

11.   Exhibits, prizes and awards must remain intact until the end of the show.  The show committee may remove wilted blooms at any time.

12.   Awards will be presented at the end of the show.  Those who have won trophies and cannot be present at this time must contact the awards chairperson to arrange for pick-up and shipment of their awards and ribbons at their own expense.

13.   Physical possession of rotating trophies is limited to current members of the Connecticut Rose Society.

14.   Judging of entries will begin at 10:45am.   At this time, all exhibitors and visitors must leave the show area.  The show will open to the public at 1:30 pm.

15.   Judges will vote for the hybrid tea, mini-floras and miniature queens on an individual ballot.   The remainder of the court will be selected on a second ballot.

16.   Exhibitors are eligible to enter the Novice Class if they have won three or fewer blue ribbons in ARS sanctioned rose shows.  A Novice exhibitor may also enter any other class in the show if they choose.

 

Show Schedule
