DIVISION I - HORTICULTURE
ALPHABETICAL SHOW SCHEDULE CLARIFICATION
Roses will be placed on
exhibit table in alphabetical order in each general class. General classes will
be expanded to create a subclass for each variety entered. Since each separate
variety will constitute a subclass, a rose or roses entered in each separate
subclass will be judged against the merits of that variety.
For example: The following
roses beginning with the letter A are entered in Class 1 (hybrid teas and
grandifloras): Alabama, Alleluia, Allspice, Aquarius, Arizona, Avon, Azure Sea,
etc. EACH variety will be judged on its own merits and will be awarded accordingly.
Even though ONLY ONE rose of the
variety Alabama, for example, might be entered, it will be judged on its own
merit and could receive a first place award.
