World ROSE SHOW By Lesley Finlay June, the month that so many of us have been working towards for the last six years of our lives and now, finally, it has arrived!! All the hard work and planning are to culminate in the World Rose Festival and Convention. For me, the World Rose Show will be the final Rose Show that I will chair. I hope it turns out to be the best Rose Show we have ever had. I know our roses are slowly growing. Try feeding and watering them just that little bit more to get them to bloom for June 19 th . In retrospect it would have been better if we had planned this Convention and Rose Show for early July but hindsight is not going to help now! June 19 th is the date and we must try and force our roses to bloom, as best we can. We are spotlighted in the World of Roses and it is a far reaching world. We have Convention delegates coming from 23 countries and exhibitors from many of them. We have purchased 75 prizes for the Rose Show to be awarded to VRS, WFRS, ARS and PNW classes.
