Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a green thumb or, do you have a rose bush at home that is currently blooming?
Why not enter your blooms into our Latrobe City Cut Rose Competition.
Open to all festival visitors, this is a friendly, non-competitive event for everyone to enjoy the amazing roses that bloom outside the Morwell Centenary Rose Garden, especially the ones grown with love at your home.
Whether it’s a rose grown in a pot, a shrub, climber, miniature or standard variety, you don’t even need to know the roses name.
Simply cut a single stem from the blooming flower (one rose per category), place in a glass jar and deliver to the Cut Rose Competition Marquee at the Morwell Centenary Rose Garden –
Entry is free and open to all ages.
Categories are:
- Latrobe City Roses (Open to Latrobe City Residents)
- Best Perfumed Rose
- Best Full Bloom Rose (1 stem fully open bloom)
- Best Bunch of Roses (4-6 stems or cuts of any one type)
- Costa’s Choice
Judging will take place at 2.30 pm Saturday.
