Chair of Judges:
Arranging Roses, or creating Rose Arrangements, is one of the ways we stretch our rose growing hobby and get creative. We all cut our roses to bring into our homes to enjoy them or to share. Simple bouquets are among the beautiful fruits of our “rose crops.”
However, many rosarians take cut roses to another level, creating artistic designs with roses, and in fact, our rose shows offer competitions on rose arrangements that follow design standards. This is an introduction to creating rose arrangements that are considered artistic designs. The ARS Handbook for Judging Rose Arrangements puts it this way: “In flower arranging, design is the pattern or plan of an arrangement, organizing the elements according to design principals.” It might seem like a foreign language at first, but the study of design is a very rewarding activity, particularly for rosarians who are looking for ways to extend their rose growing hobby.
