Plan now to attend the show, show off your roses to ARS members from around the District, and JUDGE (if you are an ARS horticulture judge.) Each year we urge everyone (including ourselves) to dust off our copy of Guidelines and re-study the contents. This will be best if you have the current edition. Guidelines has been re- formatted to 8.5 x 11 pages, and the chapters are separately paged. This will make it much easier for the ARS to keep the latest revisions available and also to distribute Guidelines in a pdf format that can be downloaded from the ARS website. Go to the Members Only section of the ARS website and under Re- sources go to the Horticulture Judging area. The latest edition of Guidelines is available as a free download in pdf format or you can purchase a printed copy for a nominal fee from ARS. ‘Folklore’ Photo by Jim Linman 2012 PNW District Photo Contest (Continued on page 3) Spring, 2013 Pacific Northwest Rosarian Page 2 (Continued from page 2) Social media is reflecting our beloved roses so if you have not discovered the following resources, check them out!

I began in bright sunshine but soon it was gloomy and raining - yet again. The Wellington Weekly has a correspondent who reports monthly on the weather we have experienced during the month. He recorded that we had only one 24 hour period during the whole of December, when there was no rain. No wonder that there are twenty five square miles of flooded land on the Levels. I remember calling February the month of “full dyke”. One dreads what the land will be like when the floods finally drain away. I notice that Mary Keen writes in “The Garden” how much there is, of quality, to be seen in the garden in what is often regarded as the dead period. It set me off recall- ing what I have in my small mid-terrace garden.

Climate change is also a reality, hopefully most of the sceptics have fnally been silenced and instead of denying the obvious will start to look at possible ways of adapting our horticultural endeavours to this new reality. That is why part of the Speakers Programme at the 2020 Conference will be devoted to growing roses with an awareness of the changing climate and environmentally friendly care. I thank my predecessor Gavin Woods for the outstanding Leadership he has given our organisation over the past year.
