Co-hosted by Alden Lane & Mt. Diablo Rose Society
31st Annual Fall Rose Show – October 12th & 13th, 2024
Public Entries Welcome!
Be prepared to delight in the sights and fragrance of hundreds of beautiful roses. Bring your note pad so you can jot down those varieties you can’t live without. We will have a list of Alden Lane’s 2025 Rose Collection.
Most Rose shows are held in spring when the first flush of blooms reaches its peak. In a discussion with legendary rosarian David Lowell, Jacquie mentioned Alden Lane would love to host a Rose Show but spring was too hectic. David heartily suggested a Fall Show and the rest is history.
Roses shown in fall present their challenges including less predictable blooming cycle, wavering temperatures, and weather-worn foliage.
