Rose Trials.

 Judging 11
 
 

Rose Society members enjoy the privilege of judging the entries in the City of Belfast International Rose Trials where the roses are assessed over a two year period.   Each judging cycle entails four visits to the Rose Garden in the first season followed by a fifth visit in early July of the following year.   Around thirty members make up the local judging panel, awarding marks from 80% of the total.   The remaining marks are awarded by an invited International Panel in late July.
