Members of the Fraser Pacific Rose Society will celebrate the group's silver anniversary this weekend with its annual rose show — the largest in B.C.

Last year, the club donated 1,700 hours to maintain the Centennial Rose Garden (next to Dogwood Pavilion), with help from the city.

The rose show runs inside the seniors' rec centre on Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 9 to 3 p.m.; admission is $3.50.

And at 2 p.m. on July 3, the city will unveil the new Coquitlam Rose, a legacy project of the municipality's 125th birthday celebrations. Visit fprosesociety.org for more information.
