2024 PROGRAMS FOR WEST JERSEY ROSE SOCIETY
SATURDAY-MAY 18, 2024
IN-PERSON MEETING. FROM 1-3 PM
MAPLE SHADE MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Diane Wilkerson will be presenting "Preparing Your Roses for Challenge Classes at the June Rose Show."
“Collections” and “Challenge Classes” are interesting and often unique classes in a rose show. Many times, they offer the opportunity to enter specimens that don’t qualify for traditional, single-stem classes. Let’s talk about the difference between the two, and making your entries winners!
Diane Wilkerson has been growing roses in central New Jersey for 31 years, located 5 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean and .1 miles from a river, in sandy soil. She is a life member of the American Rose Society (ARS), and active member of the West Jersey and Philadelphia Rose Societies. She has been an ARS certified Horticulture Judge since 2004. She has had the honor of judging at national, district and local rose shows, and served as a faculty member at several Horticulture Judging schools and seminars. Diane is an ARS Silver Honor Medal, Outstanding Horticulture Judge, and Outstanding Consulting Rosarian awardee from the Penn-Jersey District. A Master Rosarian, Diane currently serves as the Chair of Horticulture Judges for the Penn-Jersey District, and a member of the Board of Trustees for the West Jersey Rose Society. She is honored to participate in today’s discussion.
