Bev Welsh and Hida Stanger-Dutt, of the Fraser Pacific Rose Society, take shelter from Thursday's rain to check out Lichtkonigen Lucia roses in the society's garden at the Dogwood Pavilion.
After a slow start because of the harsh winter and late spring, the roses in the garden are coming nicely into bloom just in time for the society's annual rose and floral art show, Saturday and Sunday at Dogwood Pavilion. The show will feature some of the best roses grown by local enthusiasts as well as more than 1,000 roses growing in the garden at Dogwood, including a display of uniquely Canadian hybridized roses to celebrate the country's 150th birthday.
The show runs from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. For more information and a full schedule of competition rules and categories, go to http://www.fprosesociety.org/Annualroseshow.html
