“Let Roses Ring” was the themeof the fall ARS national convention inPhiladelphia, and in the beginning

we weren’t sure they would have any roses to show, letalone ring. The strange weather across the United Statesknocked out many exhibitors, but enough came with top-notch roses to make an impressive display.

About 540 people attended the convention at theAdam’s Mark Hotel across the river from downtown Philly.It was a great convention, well run and organized.

NOTE: I was saddened by the news that my goodbuddy Steve House of Greensboro, NC, died of a heartattack the Friday after the convention. Steve was THEpremier arranger and had won more national trophiesthan any other person and had held records for the mostwon in a row. Steve did an excellent piece in my 2000ARS Annual on making modern arrangements. And I wasjust visiting with Steve a few days before … He will betruly missed and was a true gentleman.

Rose ShowDespite the strange weather, the rose show was

excellent. Exhibitors brought plenty of roses to fill thetables in a huge well laid out room. I was afraid we wouldhave had another repeat of the spring convention wherethe roses were few and far between. The roses were ofvery good quality and not easy to select the winners. Mystreak of my clerks winning one of the Queens continuedwith good buddies Archie and Linda Snedeger of Poca,WV winning hybrid tea Queen with Uncle Joe. The funnything is Linda told Archie not to bother entering the rose.Randy Scott of Woodbridge, VA won mini Queen withMiss Flippins and hybrid tea Princess with Dublin. Rosetraveling buddy John Mattia from Orange, CT won hybrid

tea King with Moonstone and the Earl of Warwick trophy.Sue and Kang Mei of Castro Valley, CA won the PacificTrophy. John and Cheryl Lynn Smith won the nationalMcFarland, and I understand they weren’t coming butchanged their minds at the last minute. Good buddiesSandy and Bob Lundberg of Bluffton, SC won the Lawton(and counted correctly this time) and Satish and VijayaPrabhu of Columbia, SC, won the Kirk and Ben Williamstrophies. Fellow exhibitor chatroom buddies Paul andGeri Guerino of Elmhurst, IL won Mini King with Cachetand Prince with Jilly Jewel. The only SoCal winner of anational trophy was Tommy Cairns who won the Mooretrophy. The late Steve House won the Overesch Trophyand former clerk who won hybrid tea Queen at Orlando,Trish Ridgeway of Lexington Park, MD, won the MillieWalters Trophy. Overall it was a great show.

Board MeetingWe had another marathon board meeting with a lot of

ground to cover and many subjects were put off until thenext convention. We started off by welcoming BarbaraMaas back to the Board. She replaced Bob Churilla asRegional Director. Bob was a big teddy bear with a heartof gold. He died as a result of an automobile accidentthat occurred last year. We will surely miss Bob.

The President had several agenda items to start offwith, including nominations for the ARS representatives

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS FORTHE FEBRUARY ISSUE OF

PACIFIC SOUTHWEST ROSE:

JANUARY 15, 2003

Please send all materials to the editor,preferably via e-mail to: [email protected]

Two new changes were made to the ConsultingRosarian program. Credits will now be given to optionalcontinuing education classes. These need to be pre-approved by the District CR Chairman. The renewal timewas also changed from three to four years.

The ARS publication Approved List of ExhibitionNames will now contain the Guidelines for Judging Rosesin the back. The manual will be compressed into asmaller format. No word was given if a new manual wason the way or not.

The other action that I am totally excited about is thenew Blake Hedrick Award. This honor is dedicated to oneof the nicest rosarians I have ever met. You may recallthat I was with Blake when he passed away suddenlyduring our trip in Victoria. This award is a lifetimeachievement award for exhibitors. The ExhibitorsCommittee will nominate a candidate for the once a yearaward. The person must be of high integrity as anexhibitor, successfully exhibited at local, district andnational shows, plus is willing to give their time to otherswho want to learn.

A certificate for the best entry in the show, aka besthorticultural entry was returned to committee to obtainfunding to create the first certificates.

My agenda item to approve changes to our bylawswas approved by the board. I had an agenda item toobtain the scores from the 2001 bulletin contest from theChairman or the President. Attempts by both ARS staffand myself fell on deaf ears. The President said itwouldn’t do any good as the Chairman tossed the resultsand they cannot be redone and he also tossed his copy.The Board approved that the Chairman must supply acopy of the scores to the board at New Orleans from the2002 contest. My proposed guidelines for the bulletincontest were returned to committee for comments to bebrought back at New Orleans. The same applied for theproposed charter changes.

The final action is that ARS has agreed to work withHome Depot again in 2003. However, there will be writtencommunications from Home Depot headquarters to theirstores, and we in the district will have full control over thestores selected, the date(s) of the talks, etc. We warnedthem that if this fails, then it would not be consideredagain. So I hope all of our members will be willing to givethis one more try and report to me any problems.

At the Awards Banquet Bob Whitaker was presentedwith the ARS Gold Medal. That is the highest award givento a rosarian, and Bob was an excellent choice! TheGamble Fragrance Award went to Secret. The top rosegarden was Dubuque, IA. AARS awarded GardenEvaluation Chairman Art Emmons a special award ofrecognition. Congrats to all!


for the World Federation meeting, ceasing the RegionalDirector position from the Board, looking into the ARS asa publishing company for rose books, and reinstatementof the December magazine. Each item except thenominations were held off until New Orleans, the site ofthe next ARS national convention. The minutes fromprevious meetings were approved and we added four newproduct endorsements, Miracle Gro Soil, Coast of MaineRose Bay Salmon Fertilizer, Green Light’s Rose Defense,and a Sunset book.

Marilyn Wellan and myself brought up the big actionitem about the changes involving the Editorial AdvisoryCommittee, most notably deleting the specialty bulletins.The Board voted almost unanimously to overturn all thedecisions made at San Jose. Therefore there is no newfeature editor, Editorial Board, and more importantly, all ofthe specialty bulletins are back in! Let’s show our supportby everyone subscribing to all of the ones that were“temporarily cancelled”, the minis, old garden roses, andarrangers. They are only $10 a year and are a goodbargain. Steve Steps was appointed as Chairman of anad hoc committee to look into budget savings for themagazine.

Speaking of the ARS publications, the Boardpresented a signed certificate to the ARS publication stafffor their excellent work on producing a top qualitymagazine and for other work. It is well deserved. The newwebsite is up and running. If you haven’t checked it outyet, go to www.ars.org and see for yourself. TheMembership Committee will be working on a satisfactionsurvey which is to be filled out online, and developing a“members only” section to obtain information such as theHandbook For Selecting Roses online as well.

Most of the Board discussions involved the ARSbudget and constant cash flow problems. ARSmembership continues to drop slowly, but is somewhatstable. This is always a slow time of the year for us. ARSstaff proposed several internal price increases. One is toincrease the Judge’s School fees to $50 (currently $35)effective 1/2003. They will look into increases formerchandise and bring that back to the next boardmeeting. The affiliate and charter society membershipshave not been increased in 20 years. The Local SocietyCommittee will look into this matter and report back at thenext board meeting. ARS will be charging a minimal feefor ARC Trial Ground entries. The Evening of Wine &Roses will continue as a fundraiser for the gardens. Thisevent has been highly successful in getting thecommunity to the gardens. You can help ARS by signingup for the ARS Rose Master Card. ARS will get a percentof all purchases made on the credit card. So get yourstoday and buy more roses!

Court of Etiquette

Why not add a functional informal tray toyour next Rose Show?

Some societies do not have any Court of Etiquette(table) classes at their shows. An easy class to begin withis to have a class for functional informal trays. Thearranger only has to transport a minimum of dishes andaccessories and the exhibit is easy to display. Below ishow the class could be written in the schedule.

Table SettingsEligible for ARS Court of Etiquette Award Class? A Creative Title to go with your Theme!A functional informal beverage tray for two with a

decorative design to be staged on a table top in an areano larger than 36” wide x 32” deep. No flatware isallowed.

If you print the following information in you localnewsletter, you should have lots of entries!

A functional table is set for the service of food, minusflatware. There are three types of Functional Tables. Twotypes that are similar are formal and semiformal functionaltables and the third type is Informal. Informal may includetrays, luncheon, patio, picnic, buffet – just about any typeof dining or beverage service other than formal orsemiformal. The difference between formal andsemiformal is that professional servers are needed forformal tables/occasions. Schedules are never writtenrequesting a functional formal table. There are alsoExhibition Tables, which is a totally non-practical butartistic display of elements suggestive of serving a meal.

Trays have become very popular with our lifestyles.They offer portability and convenience for eating anddrinking. The trays themselves should be stable and noteasily overturned. All trays are to be carried, everythingon the tray must be chosen and placed in such a way thatthe essential stability is assured. This requirement forstability also includes any flower arrangement that is to beplaced on the tray. Think of a tray as being a “table-on-the-move”.

From a Judge’s point of view, I am trying describewhat we are evaluating. There needs to be a tray placedon the table top that is smaller than 36”x32”. On the trayshould be components that suggest it is a beverage tray.


A decorative rose arrangement must be on the tray.Remember, as always, roses should be the dominantplant material. It’s a Rose Show! A beverage tray for twoimplies that there should be two glasses. Componentsshould be well proportioned to the limited space, and allshould be in scale with each other. The componentscould be glasses, bottle of wine, wine coaster, decanter,cocktail napkins, hors d'oeuvre serving pieces or cocktailplates – anything you think would be appropriate for abeverage tray. By using colored glasses vs. clear, papervs. cloth napkins, etc, you are creating a feeling with yourtray. Do not forget your decorative design using roses, isthe most important component. Your selection and use of

the component is how you interpret the class title. Avoidhaving the overall setting look cluttered, so only essentialitems should be included. All must be stable, including thedecorative design, since the tray has to be carried.Generally, the decorative design should be less that one-third of the entire tray area. The compatibility of color andtexture to produce an overall effect of harmony isimportant. Since the total area of a tray is small, allcomponents will be in very close proximity to each other.Do not get carried away with components, more is notbetter!

You all have beverage trays at home – let’s see whatyou can do with it. Table classes are fun, easy andenjoyable classes to enter. The American Rose SocietyAward for Table Classes is the Court of EtiquetteCertificate. If there are any questions, please have theexhibitor contact your arrangement consultant or contactme.

TTHHEE JJUUDDGGEESS GGAAVVEELLBy Frank & Cherrie GrassoDistrict Hort. Judges Co-Chairs

Thank you California CoastalRose Society for your generoussupport in sponsoring the Judgesand Exhibitors Seminar andWorkshop on November 9, 2002.

We are currently seeking a society that would be willing tosponsor a Judging School for 2003. Our district dependson volunteers in order to conduct programs like a JudgingSchool so if your society is interested please contact usas soon as possible. Should you have any questionsabout what sponsoring a school would entail give us acall or e-mail as listed below.

An interesting observation has been made andpassed on to us regarding the judging of one bloom perstem hybrid teas and miniatures when it consists of onespecimen of that variety only. It has been noted that manyof these “stand-alone” roses only receive a second placeeven though when compared to other sections wheremultiple entries of the same variety exist with equalquality receive a first place. It appears that if there aremultiple entries the judges have something to comparewith. A judge should be able to judge any rose new, old,never seen before or “stand-alone” based on theinstructions given in the Guidelines for Judging Roses. Asa suggestion, treat all roses as individual “stand-alone”bloom then compare to find the best in the class.

Judges please remember that when you are servingin any other capacity other than a judge during a roseshow you should never interfere or correct fellow judgesduring the judging process. Should there be a problem onthe show floor speak to the Rose Show Chairperson orChairperson of Judges.

Congratulations go to the following new judges whohave finished their apprenticeship:

Perry AminianHelen BairdArdell LeivasJudges Court:The answer to the question in the last issue:When are species roses not eligible for Dowager

Queen or Victorian Awards even though designated asold garden roses?

When the Genesis Award Certificate is offered to thespecies roses in that show. It therefore makes all species(Sp) roses ineligible for Dowager Queen and VictorianAward.

Now for the next question:How do you judge for the best horticultural entry in a

show?We can be reached as follows:Frank & Cherrie Grasso2235 Tierra Verde RoadVista, CA 92084(760) 727-2436E-mail: [email protected]

CCOONNSSUULLTTIINNGGRROOSSAARRIIAANN NNEEWWSS

By Robert B. Martin, Jr.District Chairman of Consulting [email protected]

At the request of the ARSNational Consulting Rosarian Committee, the ARS Boardof Directors accepted two important changes in the CRprogram at the Fall Convention in Philadelphia 2002. Bothof these changes affect the recertification requirementsfor CRs and should be noted by all CRs. In addition theBoard approved the Home Depot project for 2003. Detailsof these actions are described below.

Increase in Time for Recertification to 4 years The CR Manual currently provides that a CR, in order

to maintain active status, must attend a CR School everythree years. This “every three year” recertificationrequirement was originally set to coincide with the term ofdistrict directors. Noting that the recertification term forhorticultural and arrangement judges is four years, theNational Committee proposed to make the CR programconsistent by increasing the recertification term to fouryears. This was also thought desirable to allow for moretime for CRs to obtain their recertification requirementsand to give more time for district CR chairs to offerprograms.

The Board accepted the proposal and changed theperiod to four years. Because of past actions by theBoard, all of the CRs in the Pacific Southwest District arecertified through at least 2003. As a result of this newaction, all persons whose certification would have expiredin 2003 have been extended until 2004. In addition, forthose certified after 2000, the anniversary forrecertification will be 4 years from the date of the initialcertification. For example, if you were initially certified orrecertified as a CR in 2002, your recertification date is2006.

Recertification Credit SystemAs indicated above, the CR Manual required a CR in

order to maintain active status to attend a CR Schoolevery three years. The three year period has now beenincreased to four years. In addition, to increase theoptions for recertification the ARS Board adopted aproposal from the National CR Committee to implement acredit system.

Under the new credit system, each CR must acquirefour credits during each recertification period. A basic CRschool will provide up to four credits. In addition, creditscan be assigned to other programs at the national, districtand local levels based on scope, complexity and depth ofthe subject and the credentials of the speaker. ConsultingRosarians who attend relevant master gardener and


educational programs presented by professionalorganizations may also earn credits.

Under the schedule adopted, programs offered atARS national conventions may qualify for up to fourcredits. Programs offered at district meetings may qualifyfor up to two credits. Local meetings may qualify for onecredit, and relevant master gardener programs andprofessional continuing education programs may qualifyfor up to two credits. Except for ARS NationalConventions, the district CR Chairman will determine thenumber of credits assigned. The District Director willsettle any dispute between the sponsor and district CRChairman concerning the number of credits assigned toother offerings.

Under the new system each CR will be responsiblefor keeping the documentation of credits received. It isexpected that the sponsor of the educational offering willpresent some form or document to the attendees. Whenrecertification is due the CR is responsible for sending thedocumentation to the District CR Chairman.

Home Depot is Baaack ….The Home Depot Projecthas been approved for 2003.

In 2001, Home Depot and the ARS entered into a“Year of the Rose” partnership to provide rose-growingseminars in Home Depot stores across the United Statesin 2002. The idea was for local Consulting Rosarians toconduct seminars on a Saturday that coincided with theideal rose planting time in each area. The problem wasthat the program was hastily put together and poorlycoordinated by Home Depot. This problem wasparticularly acute in our District since we have many ofthe earliest planting times in the country. Nevertheless,despite the considerable problems, local rose societiesstill conducted 356 seminars throughout the country.

Home Depot has reportedly recognized that theydropped the ball on the project and wants to try again.Marilyn Wellan, ARS Vice President, met with arepresentative of Home Depot at their headquarters inAtlanta, where a written agreement was signed agreeingto all of the conditions outlined by her.

The planning for the new project has been simplified.For the year 2003, local societies will determine the storelocation and date of the seminars. An introductory letterfrom Home Depot headquarters will be provided to helpmake the first contact with the local store gardenmanager. A Home Depot Project 2003 Plan will outline theexpectations and deadlines. The web page will be animportant communication and coordination tool. Suppliers,public, and others are supposed to have quick and readyaccess to information about the seminars.

President Cairns will be sending out letters to all localsocieties to encourage participation in the Home DepotProject 2003. Our District Director, Steve Jones, willappoint a champion of the project at the district level andwill also be asking for a designated local champion.Participation by local CRs will increase public awarenessof roses and promote membership in the ARS and localsocieties. So let’s try this again.

We had a nice District-wide response toRoses in Review for 2002. Reviews werereceived from 139 reporters, a modest increaseover the 130 last year. As expected, the largestnumber of reports, 86, were from SouthernCalifornia, followed by 35 from Arizona, 12 fromNew Mexico and the balance from other areas ofthis District.

The Pacific Southwest District is the largest in the American RoseSociety by membership, with over 2,400 members and 316 ConsultingRosarians. It is also very large geographically with wide differences inclimate. Our District's contribution to the annual Roses in ReviewSurvey is therefore very important, and I am proud of the contributionour rosarians have made.

The full report has been submitted to the National RIR Chairmanand compiled results for the entire nation will appear in an upcomingissue of the American Rose Magazine. In the attached charts I haveset forth the ratings of the top large and miniature roses by gardenand exhibition rating. In making this compilation, I have included onlythose roses for which at least seven reports have been received.

In the large roses, the top garden rating was recorded by 'FlowerGirl', a 1999 shrub by Gareth Fryer that was introduced by WeeksRoses. It is followed by another 1999 shrub introduction, 'Pillow Fight',hybridized by Tom Carruth and also introduced by Weeks. In thirdposition is the 1999 AARS-winning climber, 'Fourth of July', alsohybridized by Tom Carruth.

The leading hybrid tea is the 2000 AARS winner 'Gemini', infourth position in the survey. Hybridized by Keith Zary, and introducedby Jackson & Perkins, 'Gemini' also recorded 69 reports, the largestnumber in the survey, with nearly half of the reporters growing thisvariety. The second largest number of reports were recorded by'Veteran's Honor' with 62.

'Gemini' also led the survey in the exhibition ratings, followed by'Flower Girl'. The next four were all hybrid teas, including ' Brooks'Red', 'Hot Princess', 'Veteran's Honor', and 'Black Magic'.

Among the miniature roses, 'Ruby Baby', the orange-red sport of'Hot Tamale' was the leader in both the garden and exhibition ratings.Tom Carruth's bright orange single, 'Gizmo' was second in the gardenratings. Oddly, 'Soroptimist International' finished third in the gardenratings, despite its sloppy growth habit, this probably influenced by itssecond place finish among exhibition ratings. Third in the exhibitionratings was 'Amber Star', the orange blend sport of the well-established exhibition rose, 'Glowing Amber'.

Our reporters submitted a total of 1,919 reports on 312 individualcultivars. More than half (76) of our reporters submitted their reportsonline at the ARS website, which was a great help in compiling thereports. I give my thanks to all who participated in this importantproject.
