The American Rose Society exists to promote the culture, preservation and appreciation of the Rose, and to improve its standard of excellence for all people, through education and research.
HORTICULTURE JUDGING
To be an American Rose Society Accredited Horticulture Judge is an earned honor that carries with it certain responsibilities. Judging is a privilege that carries with it the responsibility to conduct oneself with objectivity, fairness, courtesy and honor.
Like everything related to our world of roses, judging them is a pleasurable and richly rewarding experience. Judges commonly travel several hundred miles to judge a local show. To judge roses, as to judge anything else, you need a frame of reference - a set of standards agreed on by all judges - see our Horticulture Judging Guidelines below.
