EXHIBITORS PLEASE NOTE; STEM COUNT is determined at the point of emergence of the stems from the top of the

Society’s containers, where the judge can see them, so be VERY careful when staging mul-

ti-headed stems (where the number of stems is specified),. Make sure the point where the

lowest side shoot joins the main stem is above the top of the container. Also please re-

move foliage that would get jammed among the stems where they emerge from the contain-

er as this makes the count difficult for the judges.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS - ALL CLASSES

Stem - A stem is defined as a Rose which carries a single bloom or single bud

Cut - A cut is stem that carries more than one bloom, and/or bud or buds.

Bud - A bud can show colour, but must not have any petals unfurled or separating from the

centre, when petal unfurled is counted as a bloom.

Distinct – means two different Cultivars; (differently named roses - e.g. Moonstone,

Tineke

Blend - A rose which has more than one colour on it’s petals. May include a rose with two

shades of the one colour. Any Rose listed in Modern Roses as ‘Blend’

NND - means Not Necessarily Distinct (Not necessarily different). Three Roses NND

It allows for the mixing of roses with different names or roses of the same name in the one

exhibit.

to 3 petals in a second row.
