Rose Trials
As ever, we are very grateful to our team of judges: they represent as wide a spectrum of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm as possible and we welcome enquiries from those who would like to get involved. Once the scores are received, they are collated and checked by a small panel led by the Chair of Judges, Adrian Pickett, and the winners are announced.
Across our trials we have varieties submitted by breeders and growers from various countries including entries from the UK, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Ireland, Denmark, and Canada.

Education and presentations
Our programme of education and information on roses has continued, with presentations, talks and workshops. These are held both at the trial ground and locations across the UK. We are particularly keen to introduce the work of the Rose Trials to primary and secondary schools. for further information email [email protected]
