Full-blown Roses
14. These shall be judged, and pointed, in a similar manner to exhibition roses, that is, according to form, freshness, size, brilliance, refinement, and purity of colour. In the full-blown rose, the form shall imply an abundance of petals of good substance, symmetrically and gracefully arranged within a circular outline, and with a definite showing of the stamens or centre. Bunches of Roses of One Variety 15. In judging these bunches, the chief point to consider is the decorative effects when viewed from the front. Decorative effect embraces the following: (a) arrangement, (b) quality of the blooms, (c) colour and freshness of the blooms, (d) excellence of the foliage. No extra points shall be given for exhibition form, but the form must be representative of the variety. Points shall be allotted as follows:‡ 3 for arrangement. 3 for quality. 3 for freshness and colour, 1 for foliage. Bunches of Single Roses 16. The same system, and the same allotment of points as for bunches of one variety shall be used in judging bunches of single roses, except that each bloom must have five petals only. Mixed Bunches 17. Mixed bunches shall be judged in a similar manner to bunches of one variety. Floral Art Exhibits 18. These shall be judged according to decorative effect when viewed from all angles (except where otherwise specified in schedule), freshness and quality of blooms. Decorative effect shall include arrangement, colour or colour-blending, and excellence of the foliage. No extra points shall be allotted for blooms of exhibition form. Points shall be allotted as under: 3 for arrangement. 3 for quality. 3 for freshness and colour or colour-blending. 1 for foliage. The question of duplicates must not be reopened after the judges have given their awards. In all floral art exhibits a vase is regarded as a vessel of which the height is greater than the width; the diameter must not exceed three and a half inches one and a half inches from the top. A bowl is a round vessel of which the height is less than the width; the stem, pedestal or stand is not included in the height. ‡Where wiring of blooms is forbidden, it is usual to award points for stems as well as foliage of blooms staged in bunches or vases. |
