Welcome to the Greater Gwinnett Rose Society Rose Show, “PUN with Roses”.

I would like to extend thanks to our judges who have given their valuable time to come and judge our show. And to the Rose Show Committee who have given your time and much effort to make this show happen. And of course, most importantly, to those rose lovers that entered the Horticulture and Arrangement Classes, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful roses. To our “class” sponsors, thank you for your generosity. To ALL who helped in any capacity, without you this show could not have taken place.

To our visitors, I hope you enjoy the rose show and roses as much as we have enjoyed bringing them for your enjoyment,

General Rules for Judging Roses and Information

1. The Greater Gwinnett Rose Society's Fall Rose Show will be held at the Gwinnett Department of Parks and Recreation’s Bogan Park. All entries must be placed between 6:45am and 9:45am on Saturday, October 13, 2018. Entries may not be removed before 4pm on Saturday October 13, 2018.

2. This show will be governed by the standard rules and guidelines of the American Rose Society (ARS). Roses are to be exhibited by the recognized ARS exhibition name (AEN). Classification and eligibility will be determined in accordance with the 2018 Official List of Approved Exhibition Names for Exhibitors & Judges, the 2019 edition of the Handbook for Selecting Roses, Modern Roses on-line (https://www.rose.org/modernroses) and Recent Registrations on the ARS website. In cases where a variety is not listed in any of the above official ARS publications, the Combined Rose List (CRL) may be used as a reference (Note: a rose name with double quotation marks is not eligible to be shown). In the event there is a conflict regarding name, class, color, date, or other pertinent information between the CRL and the official ARS publications, the latest ARS publication will prevail.

3. Competition is open to all rose growers. All entries must have been grown in a private, outdoor garden by the exhibitor and be correctly named and classified. Exhibitor's numbers will not be used. Only one person or team may enter from one garden. ARS Judges judging in the Horticulture section of this show are invited to exhibit in Classes 39 and 40.

4. The Show Committee will furnish entry tags and containers, except where specifically indicated. An entry tag must be made for each specimen except collections shown in one container, which shall have one entry tag with all varieties listed on the tag. Both top and bottom of tag must be completely filled out. Styrofoam wedges are permitted and will be supplied by the Show Committee, or exhibitors may furnish their own. Wedging should not extend above the lip of the container.

5. Exhibitors may make as many entries as desired in each section except for Classes 1 through 4, provided each entry is a different variety. Two specimens of the same variety in the same class entered by the same exhibitor, or two entries by the same exhibitor in the same class in Section A will result in the automatic disqualification of both entries.

6. The Placement Committee will place all entries except for those in Classes 1-4. In that section only, the exhibitor may place his/her entries while accompanied by a member of the Placement Committee. Once an entry has been placed, the entry shall not be moved. NO ONE will be permitted in the show area during judging except those authorized by the Show Committee.

7. Except where otherwise specifically stated, varieties will be arranged alphabetically within a class, disregarding color class.

8. Blue, red, yellow, and white ribbons may be awarded to each variety in each class. Only blue ribbon winners may receive awards. Judges may withhold any award they feel is not merited. The decision of the judges is final.

9. Climbing roses other than Large Flowered Climber, Hybrid Wichurana or Hybrid Gigantea may not be entered in Class 12. Climbing Hybrid Teas must be entered with Hybrid Teas, Climbing Miniatures with Miniatures, etc.

10. The judges evaluate each specimen in accordance with the following point system:

Form 25 Stem & Foliage 20

Color 20 Balance & Proportion 10

Substance 15 Size 10

11. Specimens will be disqualified for the following reasons:

· Misnamed, misclassified, misplaced (by exhibitor), unlabeled or mislabeled.

· Stem-on-stem: a specimen exhibited with a portion of previous stem growth attached. Exceptions: Species, OGRs and shrubs may be shown stem-on-stem.

· Presence of foreign substance applied to improve the appearance of a specimen, including grooming. This disqualification also applies to exhibition aids accidentally left in or on a bloom.

· Not disbudded. Any class calling for one-bloom-per-stem specimens must be exhibited without side buds. Side bud is defined as growth emanating from a leaf axil having sufficient maturity to display the formation of a stem, with or without flower buds.

· An entry in violation of ARS rules or local society rules applying to the show.

· Any rose that has been entered in a show with a name that has not been recognized by the American Rose Society. Roses are to be exhibited by the recognized ARS exhibition name (AEN).

12. Judging will be based on a comparison of the approach to perfection of the individual variety. At the time of judging, a rose at exhibition stage should be at its most perfect phase of possible beauty, which is usually one-half to three-fourths open. Grandifloras and Hybrid Teas shown as sprays should be exhibited in a similar manner as floribunda sprays. Floribundas and Polyanthas shown as inflorescences or sprays should display the maximum proportion of blooms at or near the most perfect phase of beauty for that particular variety. Specimens in fully open classes must be fully open and the stamens must be visible. The length of the stem should be in proportion to the size of the bloom. Foliage should be clean and free of spray residue.

13. Neither the Greater Gwinnett Rose Society nor Bogan Park assumes any responsibility for loss of or damage to persons or property in relation to this show.

Horticulture Awards

Ribbons: One blue, red, yellow, and white ribbon may be awarded to each variety in each class.

Awards and Certificates: Local society awards will be awarded to the best blue-ribbon entry in each class, except Class 44. In addition, ARS certificates will be awarded where merited.

BEST IN SHOW will be selected from among all horticulture class winners except the Judges Class.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DESIGNS

Traditional Mass arrangement is characterized by large amounts of plant material in a full not crowded design. Color and forms are grouped for visual balance and rhythm. There is a well-developed focal area and gradation of color and size.

Traditional Line is dominant and must show movement in one direction. There is height and width, but little depth, except in focal area. The use of plant material is restricted.

Traditional Line-Mass – Line is plainly visible. Must have depth as well as height and width with more roses and foliage than a traditional line but is still light and airy. Shows gradation of color and size.

Modern Angular Designs are geometric designs in which angular units are merged into one strongly angular design.

Modern Reflective Designs are designs containing materials(s), which reflect or give back image(s) of light, other components, or viewer.

Modern Transparency Designs have depth emphasized by some components seen through others. A lattice or netting or natural or manufactured material may be used.

Modern Underwater designs must have a focal area of the design placed under water in a clear or transparent container. Approximately one-third of the design should be under water.

In the Oriental Manner – Low Container – This style creates the impression that one is looking into a garden of natural growth, beautiful volume, and is a three-dimensional design. Plant materials are arranged in a low container or in a compote with water showing. A needlepoint (kenzan) is placed off-center and need not be covered with anything other than water. The design is based on the asymmetrical, three-dimensional triangle that symbolizes the universe. There are three main lines: the tallest (heaven) establishes the dimension of height (approximately 1½ times the diameter of the container plus its depth), the next tallest (man) gives width [2/3 the first stem], and the shortest (earth) gives depth [1/3 the first stem]. Fillers or assistant stems (ashirai) should be shorter than the stem they are supporting. There is simplicity in construction and restraint in the use of plant material. One-half to two-thirds of the bottom of the container is free of plant material. Water is showing and is an integral part of the design. Foliage does not touch the water surface or rest on the lip of the container.

In the Oriental Manner – Tall Container – This style stresses space and the natural growth of plant materials. This asymmetrical three-dimensional design uses a tall container or compote. Lines may cross but water does not show. Only in the tall container style are materials permitted to rest on the rim of the container. The first main stem (shin) in a tall container style design should be one and one-half times the height of the container. Other stem measurements are the same as in the shallow container style. Lines must be clean and definite. Supporting stems are used sparingly to avoid clutter.

Exhibition Table is a totally non-practical artistic display of elements suggestive of serving a meal. Other components are elective. These tables may be displayed before a background, in a niche, against a wall, or on a segment of a table. Dishes may be stacked, suspended, placed on easels, etc. Napkins or other appointments may be grouped or presented in creative ways. No flatware or food is permitted.

PUN with Roses

The space allotted for Classes 1-11 is 24” wide by 24” deep. There is no height limitation for standard classes. Tables will have a white covering and will be against a neutral-colored wall. Exhibitors are encouraged to provide their own niches or other backgrounds.
