The National Early Summer Rose Show at Badshot Leais the first of the Society’s two National summer rose shows; held in the grounds of Squires Garden Centre
A rose show has been a feature of the Squires summer calendar for many years; early on it was known as the show for the South East group of the RNRS but when a new home was needed for the RNRS Southern Show, David (DJ) Squire offered his venue to the Society. Even in his last year at the rose show DJ showed great enthusiasm for life and for the rose and now his son Colin is our host for what has, in recent years, become the Society’s biggest show.  
 
Additional features at the show are a quilting exhibition and a well supported flower arranging section.
 

All members and affiliate members are encouraged to enter, with all the country's top exhibitors at this show there will be no shortage of expert advice for even the most inexperienced exhibitor. There are classes for Affiliated Societies and for individual exhibitors, many classes requiring just ONE rose bloom and lots of new Novelty classes, just for fun. Download a copy of the 2008 Shows Schedule from the member's section of this website and join in the fun.

Colin Squires recieves the Royal National Rose Society Silver Award from RNRS President Ann Bird (below). The award, for services to the rose and to the RNRS was richly deserved. The Society is immensely grateful to Colin for once again hosting our Early Summer Show in what is surely going to be a very busy year for the Squires Group as our regular 'home' at Shepperton is undergoing a major revamp.
