Show Schedule and Clarification Roses will be placed on the exhibit tables in alphabetical order in each class in Division I. General Classes will be expanded to create a Class for each variety considered worthy in Division I, and entries of merit in Challenge Classes. No award is required for any rose or Class. The decision of the judges shall be final in determining the merits of individual roses and awarding of ribbons. In most cases, an exhibition bloom is considered at its most perfect phase of beauty when it is one-half to three-quarters open with petals symmetrically arranged in an attractive circular outline tending toward a high center. Rules and Regulations
6. Containers will be provided for all Horticultural exhibits in Divisions I and II. Except when noted, no foreign material other than plastic wrap (available from the Society) to be used as wedging material, will be permitted on any rose stem. Discretion in its use is advised to avoid distraction from the rose. 7. The placement of all specimen roses will be handled by the Placement Committee from the Classification Table. No exhibitor, other than those entering Challenge Classes, will be allowed on the floor during the placement of entries. If a person is officially assigned to a job, that person can be in the area assigned. 8. Judging will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Only Judges, Clerks, and necessary show personnel will be allowed in the immediate show area during judging. Judging shall be done by ARS Accredited Judges who may be assisted by the apprentice Judges. Decisions of the judges will be final. 9. Any specimen may have unwanted side growth, side buds, and/or spent blooms removed to improve the appearance of the specimen, subject to penalty due to the degree of impairment. 10. Climbing sports must be exhibited with their bush counterparts. 11. Judging will be based on a comparison approach to perfection of the individual variety. At the time of judging, an exhibition rose should be in its most perfect phase of beauty. Grandifloras and Hybrid Teas shown as sprays or inflorescences, should display all blooms as near to exhibition stage as the variety permits. Specimens in fully open classes must be fully open and the stamens must be easily visible. Length of stem should be in proportion to size of bloom. Foliage shall be clean and free of spray residue. 12. Entries in any class calling for one-bloom-per-stem must be shown without side buds. They may have been disbudded manually or may have grown naturally without side buds. 13. Due caution and care will be exercised in safeguarding exhibits and materials furnished by the exhibitors. However, the Grand Valley Rose Society cannot assume responsibility for injury or loss to persons or property. 14. All Rose Society members will be expected to assist in the clean-up operations at the end of the Show.

Presence of a foreign substance applied to foliage, stem, or bloom to improve the appearance of the specimen. 4.
