2009 Specimen/Horticulture Rose Classes
SECTION B: SPECIMEN ROSE CLASSES
Roses will be placed in alphabetical order in each
class according to the name of the variety or cultivar.
Each separate variety or cultivar will constitute a
separate subclass, and a rose or roses entered in this separate subclass will be
judged against the standards for that variety. In most cases, an exhibition bloom
is considered to be at its most perfect stage of possible beauty when it is from
1/2 to 3/4 open, with the petals symmetrically arranged in an attractive circular
outline tending toward a high center. Single and semi-double varieties should
be open with fresh stamens.
