If you have entered a rose show, you may have wondered, “what are the judges looking for?” when they give out the blue, red and yellow ribbons.
Linda Jansing has been a member of the American Rose Society, Tenarky District, and the Louisville Rose Society since 1993. She is a Master Rosarian and has been the Horticulture Judge Chair and Photography Chair for the Tenarky District since 2016. She has been president and vice president of the Louisville Rose Society.
In the past 30 years, Linda has grown all types of roses but mainly hybrid teas. She has also grown miniatures, minifloras, shrubs, David Austins…and the list goes on.
Linda told us, “The first time I exhibited a hybrid tea, “Peace”, I won Novice Queen and I was hooked!”
She started clerking at rose shows to learn more and a few years later, became a Horticulture Judge mainly to become a better exhibitor, but she has loved judging local, district and national rose shows for the past 18 years.
Bring a few roses if you have them on August 7th. We will talk about what judges are looking for when you exhibit your beautiful roses at the Tenarky District Show on September 17th.
The meeting will be held in the Potter Room at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens. Admission to Cheekwood is not required – let the gate attendant know that you are attending the NRS Meeting in the Potter Room.
Hosted by the Nashville Rose Society
Exciting news for everyone! Mark your calendars and plan to come to the 2022 Tenarky District Fall Rose Show & Convention at Cheekwood Gardens in Nashville.
The show and convention will be held Saturday and Sunday, September 17-18. We will have horticulture, arrangements, and photography divisions. As this is our district rose show, we will have the 13 Tenarky District Challenge Horticulture Classes which includes the much sought-after Moore and McFarland trophies. Arrangements will include (for only the second time) the Sam Jones Memorial Arrangement Challenge class. This is your opportunity to enter your roses in district classes that are not available at our local shows.
You will also be able to meet the American Rose Society President, Diane Sommers. Diane is our banquet speaker Saturday evening and also a judge at the show on Saturday.
And, most importantly, you will be able to make new rose friends from across the district and learn how they grow roses.
