Editor’s Note: We have compiled several videos from noted rosarian and co-founder of Monty’s Plant Food Company, Monty Justice. As a seasoned veteran, frequent winner, and judge of the Rose Show circuit, Justice is a sought-after consultant and speaker on all issues related to roses. As such, we followed him to the Kentucky State Fair in the Fall of 2010 so he could teach us what judges are looking for, how to prep blooms for presentation, and in short, how to put your best bloom forward whether you are competing or just want to display your hard work in your home. We hope you enjoy these segments and we look forward to hearing about your blue-ribbon successes.
Most roses are beautiful, but all roses are not show quality. In this video, Monty’s Justice shows how to present roses with the ‘perfect’ round shape and the proper display of their petals.
Just like any competition, what separates the champions from the also-rans is attention to detail. In this segment, Monty shows some of the tricks that winners use to get their blooms ready to face the judges.
