A rose show and an upcoming ball for all

Published: Saturday, October 31, 2009 8:38 PM MST


Everyone should visit the 22nd Annual Rose Show at the East Center sponsored by the Green Valley Rose Society and Green Valley Recreation today. This year’s theme is “Thanks-Giving Roses.” The show is free.

Roses entered must be named in the “American Rose Society” handbook and must be garden grown. Help identifying roses for first-timers is available.

The Rose Show has three main sections for entries: horticulture, arrangements, and photography. There are about 75 categories in these sections in which winners can receive certificates or trophies.

Roses may be exhibited as singles, sprays, in bowls, frames and in arrangements.

Beginning at 6 a.m., all roses for entry should be brought to the back patio of the East Center. No entries are accepted after 9:30 a.m. Judging by American Rose Society judges will begin at 10 a.m. Public viewing is from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Light refreshments will be served during the show. Entertainment will be provided by pianist Marianna Steele. Her selections all feature roses in the titles. The Santa Rita Art League and the Green Valley Camera Club will display rose-related works in the lobby and the halls. A raffle will be held for prizes.
