First Bloom Rose Display Moves Online!

DBG has cancelled all plant society activities for June with more than 10 people attending and since several hundred people attend our rose shows we have decided to cancel our First Bloom Rose Display scheduled for June 13^th.  Instead, let’s work together as a society and move our First Bloom Rose Display online!

We can share our first flush of rose flowers with each other and the public.  Send lots of pictures of your roses to DRS and we will post them on-line for all to see.

• Take a photo of a rose from your garden in a container or on the bush. The photos should be of a single bloom or a spray, not the whole bush.

• We are also accepting photos of arrangements.

• Send the photos to drsfirstbloom@gmail.com with your name, the name of the rose, the type of rose (Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, etc.) and your area (Broomfield, SE Denver, Colorado Springs, etc.). If you do not know the name or type of rose use ‘unknown rose’ or ‘unknown type’.

• Email your photos from now until Sunday, June 21.

• All photos submitted may be used throughout the year in the DRS newsletter and as outreach to the public on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

This is not a judged show, just a chance to share good photos of the flowers we love with the public. All members are encouraged to submit photos of your rose blooms. Did you plant one of the new varieties on the market this year? We’d love to see what they look like!

This is a great excuse to spend the month of June in the garden.
