NRS National Autumn Show Schedule 2015jpg_Page1_Image1

2015 National Autumn Rose Show and Convention

The 2015 National Autumn Rose Show and Convention was hosted by the Waikato Rose Society on the 14th & 15th March 2015, less than 6 months after hosting the National Spring Rose Show.

With the theme of ‘Shades of Autumn’, the Hamilton Garden’s Pavillion was filled with colour of the best autumn roses that exhibitors brought with them. The convention dinner was held among the roses while on the Sunday, a bus trip took rosarians to Tauranga for a day of garden and rose related visits.
