| Pacific Rose Society judges (l. to r.) Dwyn Robbie, Ron Feurer and Diana Kilmer discuss entrants at the April 28th, 2012 Rose Show here at the L.A. County Arboretum & Botanic Garden |

| Fresh-cut roses awaiting judging. |
Rose shows are fiercely competitive. Amateur rose growers take special care and patience to ensure that their entries will outshine others. However, even if you are inexperienced in the world of roses, you still have a chance to win. There is usually a novice category that is a little forgiven if you don’t yet know all the tricks and ropes. Here is a very good article that summarizes what the judges are looking for, and some pointers for winning by Robert B. Martin, Jr. from the Santa Clarita Valley Rose Society: How Roses Are Judged. The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanical Garden is hosting the annual Rose Show this weekend, Saturday April 28 through Sunday April 29. Stop by, enjoy and smell the roses. May be you will find some inspiration and enter in next year’s rose show!
