2008 ARS Carolina District Judges School
Information and Downloads
Periodically the District holds either a Horticulture or Arrangements
Judging School or Seminar. In 2008 there will be a combined
school on May 23-25 in Orangeburg, SC. Hosted by the Charleston
Lowcountry Rose Society, the schools will be staged in the exhibit
hall at the Edisto Gardens.
In addition to the opportunities offered by the schools, attendees
will have the opportunity to view and stroll among thousands
of roses in bloom, to take a peek at roses growing in the ARS
and AOE test gardens, and to see the newly installed Noisette
rose garden. The District is lucky indeed to this important
event in such a lovely and inspiring setting!
These schools are open to all registrants and will be of interest
to: current accredited arrangements and horticulture judges
who are in need of recertification; current arrangements and
horticulture accredited judges who wish to become aware of the
latest judging information and changes; qualified students wishing
to take the exam to become either an apprentice arrangements
judge or an apprentice horticulture judge; rosarians who are
interested in auditing the school with the idea of becoming
a judge in the future; and exhibitors who want to learn more
about judging to improve their exhibiting skills.
A packet containing restaurant, accommodation and tourist information
along with a complete schedule of events will be mailed to all
registrants.
Questions about registration should be sent to Pat
Hibbard.
Questions about the schools should be directed to Paul

Rose Society and attached to the student’s application
form.
