🌹 Love Roses? Become a Rose Judge in Palmerston North! 🌹

The International Rose Trials at the beautiful Dugald Mackenzie Rose Gardens in Victoria Esplanade are looking for new judges!
You don’t need any special qualifications — just a keen interest in roses. Full training can be provided, either one-on-one or in a small group.

Judging takes place over the growing season (November to April), with four visits in the first year and five in the second. You’ll help assess around 40 stunning rose entries — scoring them on quality, flowering, and overall appeal.

It’s a great way to deepen your knowledge, meet other rose lovers, and be part of something truly special. Judges are also invited to the awards presentation and afternoon tea, held late November or December in the gardens where you get to meet New Zealand breeders and growers.

🌷 Interested?
Send us a PM to find out how you can get involved or if you have any questions!
