Beverly Welsh, past president of the Fraser Pacific Rose Society, stops to smell the roses in the Centennial Rose Garden at Coquitlam's Dogwood Pavilion.
On Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the group will host its 22nd annual juried rose show and sale at the pavilion (624 Poirier St., Coquitlam) that will feature more than 300 entries from around the Lower Mainland.
Besides the outdoor rose garden it maintains year-round, the 65-member society also opened last month a new Canadian rose garden (facing the lawn bowling green), with 130 varieties hybridized by Canadian scientists.
Admission to this weekend's show and sale is $3; no charge for children with adults.
