5 Division II Arrangements Large Flowered Arrangements Please note: Roses of any color or colors can be used in any of the arrangement classes. Class I Rookwood Pottery A mass arrangement in a pottery container. Can be any shape or size. You may use any natural foliage including dried. Roses must predominate. Class 2: Cincinnati Music Hall A horizontal arrangement with a maximum height of 10 and any length. Horizontal arrangements are often used for table centerpieces. Make yours to celebrate the fall season of the renowned Cincinnati Symphony! Class 3: Krohn Conservatory A modern arrangement using clear or refractive elements like glass, mirrors, cellophane, Lucite, etc. Remember the design elements of line, motion, and direction. The use of tropical type foliage is often associated with modern arrangements but dried elements can be just as effective. Make it shine! Class 4: The Great American Tower A Nageire arrangement using a tall container. This is an Asian or Oriental style arrangement. Nage-ire in Japanese means thrown in. The visual weight of this arrangement should be near the mouth of the vase. Foliage and flowers can also extend down the side (cascade). Some foliage should extend upward to balance the center weight. Think of an erect Hogarth Curve (a flattened S ). Keep it spare and make the flowers the center stage stars! Class 5: John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge A Moribana arrangement. An arrangement in a shallow container with an expanse of water showing. This is another type of traditional Asian arrangement. To help you out follow these guidelines: The total height of the arrangement should be the width of the container plus the height of the container. You can add a little more height if needed to balance. Use three floral elements (at least 2 should be roses). They symbolize, earth, man and sky. Place a kenzan slightly off center in the container. Use the rule of three s to determine the height of the three elements. The whole being the tallest element, the middle element being two thirds the height and the lowest element being one third the height. Some foliage should be slightly taller than your tallest rose (sky) which should be almost vertical. The middle (man) element should angle toward the viewer. The lowest element (earth) should face upwards. Cover the kenzan with stones or fine foliage. The kenzan is part of technique and technique should never show in any arrangement. 5

6 Miniature Arrangements Class 6: The Taft Museum of Art A line mass arrangement. The size should be less than 8 in any direction. In this type arrangement a defined line should show from top to bottom or side to side. The direction isn t important. The line can swell in width at various points in a line mass. Make this arrangement artistic with bold color contrast. Class 7: Coney Island Amusement Park A modern arrangement no larger than 10 in any direction. Show movement and rhythm in this design thrilling! Class 8: Ault Park An Asian style arrangement of Moribana or Nageire using some coniferous evergreen foliage and flowers. You don t have to use roses in this arrangement. Evergreens are some of the most beautiful trees in Ault Park. Remember, a little foliage goes a long way. This arrangement can be 10 in any direction. Note: Miniature roses and Mini-flora roses can be used in these 3 classes. Youth Classes Also see Div. IV (all youth arrangements will be shown in a separate area) Class 9: Choose any of the large flowered arrangements in the above classes. Be sure to write Youth clearly and place in the youth division area. Also, indicate which class your arrangement is. Class 10: Choose any of the miniature arrangements.

(note: store bought foliage and additional flowers other than roses are always allowed in ARS shows). Garden grown roses will be given precedence in judging.
