10 EXHIBITORS PLEASE NOTE; STEM COUNT is determined at the point of emergence of the stems from the top of the Society s containers, where the judge can see them, so be VERY careful when staging multi-headed stems (where the number of stems is specified),. Make sure the point where the lowest side shoot joins the main stem is above the top of the container. Also please remove foliage that would get jammed among the stems where they emerge from the container as this makes the count difficult for the judges. NOTE THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS - ALL CLASSES Stem - A stem is defined as a Rose which carries a single bloom or single bud Cut - A cut is stem that carries more than one bloom, and/or bud or buds. Bud - A bud can show colour, but must not have any petals unfurled or separating from the centre, when petal unfurled is counted as a bloom. Distinct means two different Cultivars; (differently named roses - e.g. Moonstone, Tineke Blend - A rose which has more than one colour on it s petals. May include a rose with two shades of the one colour. Any Rose listed in Modern Roses as Blend NND - means Not Necessarily Distinct (Not necessarily different). Three Roses NND could be two Moonstone and one City of Newcastle, or three Tineke. It allows for the mixing of roses with different names or roses of the same name in the one exhibit. Single Rose - These Roses are roses having one row of up to 5 petals, but may have up to 3 petals in a second row.
