2. Everyone is welcome to exhibit roses in this show provided they are registered for the convention and all roses have been grown by the exhibitor in his/her own outdoor garden.
3. Entry area will be open from 5:00 AM until 9:00 AM Friday, May 4, 2001 at the DOUBLETREE HOTEL. Entries will be received and placement will start at 6:00 AM. The show will open upon completion of judging.
4. This is an alphabetically arranged show. Each variety will constitute a separate group within the class and will be judged on its merits for the variety. Combinations of varieties will be judged as one group.
4. Each exhibitor MUST have a convention registration number which will be used as your exhibitor number. Your exhibitor number must be on the entry tag.
5. Only ARS entry tags are acceptable, securely folded before entries are placed. Only the TOP sections must be completed as to section, class, variety name, exhibitor’s number and exhibitor’s name and address. Entry forms must be completed in blue or black ink only. Address stickers or rubber stamps are permitted for the name and address.
6. Only one exhibitor (or team) from any one garden may enter rose classes. More than one entry of the same variety in a class by an exhibitor (team) will disqualify each. All exhibits must be the work of the exhibitor only.
7. During placement, only the Placement Committee will be permitted in the show area, except for arrangement exhibitors and exhibitors entering PSWD Challenge Classes in Section A, who will be permitted to place their own entries. Each exhibitor must leave the show floor as soon as his/her exhibit is placed to his/her satisfaction.
8. Classification of roses will be in accordance with the latest edition of Modern Roses,
Handbook for Selecting Roses, Combined Rose List or the New Rose Registrations in the
American Rose. All roses must be exhibited under their ARS Exhibition Names, as listed in bold type in the ARS Handbook for Selecting Roses. A rose variety need not be registered with the ARS to be exhibited in this show, but must be listed in an ARS recognized publication. ARS publications take priority over Combined Rose List.
9. Horticulture Division entries in violation of ARS or Show Rules shall be disqualified. Entries shall be disqualified for the following reasons:
a. Misnamed, misclassed, misplaced, unlabled or mislabled roses.
b. Stem-on-stem (except for OGR’s and Shrubs).

11. Any unwanted growth may be removed from any specimen subject to penalty assessed according to the degree of impairment and depending upon the proficiency of removal. Wedging may be used to support a rose in a vase, but should not protrude above the rim of the vase.
12. The responsibility for proper identification and classification lies totally with the exhibitor. However, all possible assistance will be available by means of current recognized publications and our own Consulting Rosarians.
13. All winners are requested to be present at 4:00 PM Friday, May 4th to accept their trophies or make specific arrangements for their acceptance and delivery. District Trophies, Queen, Mini Queen and Dowager Queen will be awarded at the Awards Banquet.
