Adam Frost Attends Rose Festival Weekend at Squire’s Shepperton

Squire’s Garden Centres in Shepperton presented a bumper Rose Festival Weekend at the end of June, hosting the highly regarded National Show of The Rose Society UK. The event was attended the Society’s Patron, horticulturalist and garden designer, Adam Frost, as well as Mayor of Spelthorne, Cllr Med Buck and Consort.

Stunning rose displays and intoxicating floral aromas delighted visitors, with blooms from top class national growers who had travelled from across the country to attend the renowned show. Adam Frost presented winning growers with their awards as well as chatted to visitors and signed copies of his book inside the Rose Show marquee. In addition, visitors had the chance to enjoy the impressive  and artistic creations of members of Walton & Weybridge Flower Club, who attended the event. The club’s displays received record votes from members of the public, who were invited to nominate the best displays.

The two day event also brought visitors live music, food and drink tastings from suppliers including

Silent Pool gin and Weber barbecues. Dylan’s ice cream also attended with their famed flavours, offering visitors some refreshing reprieve from the welcome sunshine. Blessed with fine weather, the event delivered a relaxed garden party atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

Colin Squire, President of The Rose Society UK, comments: “The Rose Show is a very important show and has national status – and this year had international judges in attendance. A wonderful weekend was enjoyed by exhibitors, visitors and VIPs, which was tremendous as the Rose Show is such an important Show to growers. Once again, we were delighted to host the Show, now in its 47th year! The weekend received record attendance by visitors – many travelling quite a distance – who appreciated everything that was on offer over and the garden party atmosphere.”
