SUMMARY:A ROSY DAY OUT! 21ST ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE ROSE
DESCRIPTION:We are eagerly anticipating celebrating our 21st Annual Rose Festival under the big tent centered in the charming Schoolhouse Rose Garden. This annual festival is beloved by the gardening community\, and we always enjoy rose-related conversations throughout the day. This year\, we will have wonderful discussions to attend and hope to see you in the gardens.  \n\n\n\n“A Rosy Day Out” includes a community rose display and competition in the Schoolhouse\, an ice cream social in the afternoon\, and opportunities to sit together with like-minded gardeners in the Schoolhouse Rose Garden while listening to keynote speakers. This year\, we will celebrate garden roses\, showcase a community rose display and friendly rose competition and of course\, offer tips\, tricks\, and experienced knowledge on rose care. At  3 p.m.\, our favorite “Rose Buds” Ciscoe and John\, will enthusiastically share their favorite rose companions…and give away plants too!  \n\n\n\nEnter Your Garden Roses in Our Community Rose Display & Competition \n\n\n\nIt is a joy to grow roses. It is even more fulfilling to share lovely garden roses with friends and neighbors. If you have a  rose growing in your garden that is especially fragrant or beautiful to admire\, we encourage you to enter Christianson’s  Community Rose Display. Every June during our Rose Festival\, we extend invitations to all rose gardeners to submit their roses to be voted on in the following categories: Best in Show\, Best Fragrant Rose\, and Best Floral Display incorporating perennials with roses. Ciscoe and John will announce the winners and award them each a $50 gift certificate after their 3:00 p.m. presentation under the tent. Entries must be submitted between 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. on the day of the Festival. A large part of our Rose Festival’s success is our volunteers who represent Skagit’s Tri-Valley Rose  Society.
