For fresh-cut roses
  • You must know the name of your rose.  For example: Mr. Lincoln, Pink Knockout, Double Delight, etc.
  • Cut your rose with as long of a stem as you can.
  • The rose should be fresh “at its point of highest beauty” and the bloom about ½ to ¾ open.
  • Do not remove the leaves.
  • Always keep the stem in water until you get to the show.
For rose photography
  • You must know the name of your rose.  For example: Mr. Lincoln, Pink Knockout, Double Delight, etc.
  • Most classes ask for a close up of a single rose, taken as if you are looking down on it.
  • The photo will be judged equally on the beauty of the bloom and the quality of the photograph.
  • The photo must be printed, 5x7 inches, unmatted and unmounted.
