SELWYN LIBRARY
(Opposite Holy Trinity Cathedral Parnell)

Pruning: As a general rule of thumb for those wishing to exhibit it is suggested that pruning is done 90 days prior to the show weekend.
The more people we have exhibiting the better our show will be!
With both Novice and Open Classes there is an opportunity for everyone to
enter roses in the show and to try their hand at exhibiting.
You have grown them- why not show them!!!
