Important Changes in Judging Rules Since ARS related Rose Shows may begin to be held again, in one form or another, it is important to remember that the grounds for Disqualifying a rose in a Rose Show were greatly reduced, effective just as COVID came on the scene in early 2020.
All changes will be available in the revised Guidelines coming out later this year.
In the meanwhile, to guide you through any sort of ARS-related Rose Show that you may hold before it is published, here are the highlights.
Great News!
2021 Guidelines for Judging Roses - full text
2. Misnamed. Rose is not the variety given on the entry tag or an accepted synonym.
3. Unlabeled or Mislabeled – is defined as Entry lacks: an entry tag or the exhibitor’s name, a class number, and/or the name of the variety is not given on the entry tag.
4. Exhibitor’s name visible, if this not corrected before the entry is judged.
5. Any entry that was not grown outdoors and/or not grown by the exhibitor.
6. Violations of show rules that NOW cause a DQ:
a) A challenge class or collection entry that does not satisfy the composition and/or staging requirements of the class in which it is entered.
b) An entry in a class with restricted eligibility that the exhibitor is not eligible to enter.
c) When expressly prohibited by the show rules, entries made in the name of an absent exhibitor.
d) Unless expressly permitted by the show rules, separate entries from the same garden by two or more exhibitors.
e) Unless expressly permitted by the show rules, multiple entries of the same variety by the same exhibitor in the same class.
Show rules establishing additional reasons for disqualification are prohibited, and are to be ignored by Judges.
In other words, ANY DQ that you can remember, that is not on this list, IS NO LONGER A DISQUALIFICATION.
HOWEVER, while some previous DQ’s were abolished, most were reduced to POSSIBLE Penalties, the amount of penalization determined by their degree of distraction.
TO CLARIFY:
THE FORMER GROUNDS FOR DISQUALIFICATION
1. Stem-on-Stem (where not allowed above the lip) NOW a Potential penalty AND Stem-on-Stem (below the lip) - NOW abolished
2. Not Disbudded ( Side Buds) when required, NOW a Potential penalty
3. Foreign Substance DQ - NOW ONLY when applied to enhance the beauty of the entry
4. Misplaced (regardless of who misplaced it) – NOW neither a DQ or a Penalty, but, must be corrected before being judged
5. Misclassed – NOW neither a DQ or a Penalty, but, must be corrected before being judged. If it is not practicable to move the entry to the proper class, it may be disqualified.
6. Misnamed - Still a DQ
7. Improperly Named – NOW neither a DQ or a Penalty, but, must be corrected before being judged, by the Judge
8. Unlabeled or Mislabeled - Still a DQ
9. Violation of Show Rules - wedging NOT a DQ; Lacking Entry tag info beyond what is NOW required in the above new rules is neither a DQ nor a Penalty
10. Exhibitor’s Name Visible – should be corrected before being judged, or else, a DQ
11. Roses not grown outdoors and/or not grown by the exhibitor - DQ
12. More than one entry of the same variety in the same class from the same exhibitor - Possible DQ if it was not relocated there by show staff
DISQUALIFICATION VERSUS PENALIZATION
A disqualified exhibit is removed from competition and is ineligible for any award.
An exhibit is penalized when it has a fault in any of the six prime elements of judging. Points are deducted according to the degree of impairment. An exhibit that has been penalized remains in competition and may receive any award for which it is eligible.
