Show Rules
1. Anyone may enter roses, so long as they
come from his/her own private outdoor garden.

Multiple entries may be entered in each class, except where
noted, provided that each entry is of a different variety. Duplicate entries will be disqualified..

The Show Committee will provide official ARS entry tags. Both top and
bottom sections of the tags must be completed, including the exhibitor's
number.

but should not protrude above the container.

Except where noted, entries must be properly listed in the current
edition(s) of either Modern Roses, Handbook for Selecting Roses (ARS
Exhibition names are in bold type), the American Rose magazine, International
Registration Supplement, The Combined Rose List, or The American Rose
Annual. Classification by color and
type shall be according to these publications.
A rose with two or more names must be entered under its ARS approved
name.
7. Novice classes are limited to exhibitors
who have never won a blue ribbon in an ARS- accredited rose show. Novices may also enter other show classes.
8.
9. Fully Open Roses must show stamens, which must be
fresh. Excessive removal of central
petals will be penalized.
10. Except as noted, each entry
should be at the exhibition stage (generally, 1/2 to 3/4 open, petals
arranged symmetrically in an attractive circular outline tending toward a high
center). One-bloom-per-stem entries
must be shown without side buds, except as noted.
11. Sprays must have two or more blooms and are judged for
overall form, individual floret form,
and to the extent possible for the
variety, stages of bloom. (See ARS Magazine, Dec.
1990, p22.) Side buds are permitted, except where noted.
12. Climbers. Large-flowered climbers (LCL) must
be entered in Class 14. All other roses with the word
"Climbing" as part of their horticultural classification must be
entered in the same class as their respective bush counterparts.
13. English Boxes.
ARS rules for these will be followed. Overall appearance will replace
the points normally allotted to stems and foliage.
14. All entries, except seedlings
and sports, will become the property of the Show Committee. All roses except miniatures and minifloras
shall be exhibited with at least three inches of stem in the water
unless noted in the show schedule. The
Show Committee will remove wilted roses.
15. No entry may be withdrawn or
exchanged after it has been placed. Where possible,
entries will be placed alphabetically by variety within each class. Only show committee members will be allowed
in the Show area prior to its opening. Entries in the Challenge Classes
(Section Z) will be placed by the exhibitor, once placed these entries may NOT
be moved.
16. Standard Sweepstakes winner will be the exhibitor
winning the greatest number of blue ribbons in classes open to standard roses (Classes 1 through 22 except class 2) Miniature/Miniflora Sweepstakes winner is determined similarly (Classes 30 through 37 except class 32). Ties will be broken by counting reds and, if needed, yellow
ribbons.
17. Ribbons and certificates will
remain on display until the close of the show.
Awards will be dirstributed at 1:30 PM in the area of the head
table. Exhibitors from out of town
should arrange for someone else to pick up their trophies if they can not be at
the awards’ presentation. Ribbons and
certificates will be mailed if requested, but not trophies.
18. ARS-accredited judges, who may be assisted by ARS
apprentice judges, shall do the judging. Judges of this show and members of
their immediate families can exhibit only in the Judges Class.

including any changes published in the ARS Magazine, will be used and include
the following:
Point Scale: Form 25,
Color 20, Substance 15, Size 10, Stem and Foliage 20. Balance and Proportion
10.
Stem length must be in pleasant
relation to the size of the bloom. Roses
with stems too long or too short are penalized.
Any specimen may have side growth,
side buds, or spent blooms removed to improve appearance. This must be done skillfully to avoid
penalty.
Special Note: Judges
will disqualify entries for the following reasons: (1) Misnamed, mis-classed,
unlabeled, or mis-labeled; (2) Stem-on-stem, except for Old Garden Roses; (3)
Foreign substance applied to foliage, stem, or bloom to improve appearance; (4)
Side bud(s) on a specimen which must be shown disbudded; (5) Violation of ARS

variety in a class, but only if merited.

awards. The decisions of the judges are
final.
