The public that attends will get the opportunity to decide their pick for the best rose from the community. Some prizes will come under the best community rose and the best children’s rose.
Another competition for members of the public to take part in is “count the roses in Te Awamutu”.
How many rose bushes do we have in our rose town?
The competition involves travelling around the town and sending in answers to go in the draw to win a romantic night’s accommodation for two at the deluxe Amberfields Bed and Breakfast, including a dinner with the value of $500.
