HELPFUL HINTS WHEN ENTERING THE HORTCULTURE
SECTION
ROSES






When entering roses, the exhibit must have a long, straight, strong stem
with a few leaves left.
Clean or pull off any marked petals from the bottom of the flower, making
sure there is no tell tale petal left.
Always clean or pull off any old or marked leaves off your exhibit.
Pick roses in the cool.
Dip the end of the stem in boiling water for 30 seconds, then put into
cold, deep water.
When submitting from “bud to bloom”, the bud should show a little colour
with the others a different stage through to full blown rose.
FLORAL ART SECTION






In the floral art section, entrants should cover all their foam, wire and pin
holders with leaves or something similar so people cannot see them when
they view the design.
If an entrant can only use a certain number of flowers, the should include
nuts, foliage or ribbon to fill the effect.
Driftwood: wood that has been weather by natural elements (eg air,
earth, fire or wind).
Other Timber: can be timber which is cut, turned, polished or varnished.
Remember to soak the oasis in water before arranging live flowers and
then add more water when arrangement is complete. Flowers with last
much longer this way.
Be daring – try something different with your arranging.
POT PLANT SECTION




Ensure dead leaves are removed.
Keep turning your pot each week so your plant is even.
Your pot must be filled with potting mix and the pot must be clean.
Spray your plant with foliage shine – this enhances your presentation.
