A show and sale of roses is set for noon to 4 p.m. June 28, 2015, at the Tower Hill Botanic Garden, 11 French Drive, Boylston, Massachusetts.
The Rose Show is presented by the New England Rose Society.
A large variety of roses will be on display, including Hybrid Teas, Floribundas, Climbers, Grandifloras, and Miniatures. In addition, there will be an Arrangements division, showcasing flower arrangements that make use of roses. The roses are judged for Form, Color, Substance, Stem & Foliage, Balance & Proportion, and Size. There is also a division for the most fragrant rose.
A Rose Care lecture is scheduled for 1 p.m. David Cannistraro, an American Rose Society Horticultural Rose Judge and American Rose Society Master Rosarian will discuss the process of growing roses, from selecting the right roses for your area, to planting and care.
