ROSE BLOOM
HOW TO PREPARE
Recommended Resources
• Identification and Cultivar Information: helpmefind.com/rose/plants.php
• Judging: ars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/042012Version-GLRFJR-FINAL-4-2012.pdf
• General Rose Information: ars.org
Rose Bloom Competition Rules
• “Rose: Known Cultivar” not limited to one entry per class; limited to one entry per rose cultivar.
• EXAMPLE: “Celebrity” and “St. Patrick” are both Yellow Hybrid Tea Roses, entering both under “02 Hybrid
Tea/Grandiflora” is permissible as they are each a distinct cultivar.
• “Rose: Unknown Cultivar” is limited to one entry per class. Open to novice competitors only.
• All entries should conform to either a Single Bloom (single bloom, no side buds) or Spray (bloom count is greater
than bud count).
• Available all 5 competition dates.
How do I determine the name of my rose? The first step in determining the identity of a mystery rose is to check
for a tag or other label at the base of the plant. If none exists, take a sample to a local rose expert. Many roses may
never be identified – that’s why we created the “Unknown Cultivar” Division.
Judging Criteria
Form (25%) - petals are to unfurl in a perfect spiral from a point in the center
Color (20%) - not dull, blotchy, faded, or burned
Substance (15%) - looks and feels “fresh”
Stem and Foliage (20%) - long, straight stem with clean intact foliage, avoiding stem-on-stem
Balance & Proportion (10%) - stem and foliage length and size balanced with bloom
Size (10%) - blooms are of healthy and robust size for the cultivar
*Hybrid Tea/Grandiflora specific criteria. For more information on judging, see Resources above.
