The 2015 Biltmore International Rose Trials competition took place earlier this summer at Biltmore Estates in North Carolina. Several roses from Star Roses and Plants were honored with awards. To be considered as a finalist, roses had to make it through preliminary rounds of judging by an international jury of rose experts. The jury selected winners from the previous two years since their submission by breeders in 2013. The collection of roses not only included U.S. varieties, but also those from several other countries. Growers, distributors and rose aficionados attended the third annual competition and were able to admire the display of roses.
The Biltmore Trials not only give guests and attendees the chance to admire the beauty of unique roses, but also seek to dispel the idea that roses are difficult to grow. The roses on trial are perfect for any gardener to grow — from the beginner to the expert. Guests are welcome to stroll through Biltmore’s Rose Garden to judge the trials for themselves, and also to admire the roses that have been growing there for more than 100 years.
