🌹 What a Blooming Fantastic Weekend! 🌹

The 2025 National Spring Rose Show has now concluded, and what an incredible celebration it was! We are utterly thrilled with the success of our 80th-anniversary show.

The Hamilton Gardens Pavilion was filled with breathtaking colour, magnificent fragrance, and wonderful community spirit. A huge thank you to everyone who made it possible:

✅ Our hardworking volunteers who gave their time and energy.
✅ Our dedicated exhibitors who filled the benches with stunning blooms.
✅ Our generous sponsors and trade stands.
✅ And, of course, every single person who walked through the doors to admire the roses!

The competition was fierce, and the judging was tough! A full list of winners and champions will be compiled and posted here later next week, so watch this space!

For now, please enjoy this gallery of just some of the spectacular sights from the weekend. Feel free to tag yourself and your friends if you spot your own beautiful rose!
