There’s no admission cost, meaning you can see hundreds of varieties of roses for free.
“Award-winning blooms will be arranged by class, colour, and fragrance,” says a statement from the Vancouver Rose Society.
Hundreds of rose blooms will be judged for “Best in Show,” and there will be a photography competition, according to the statement.
Of course, bouquets, individual display roses, and rose plants will be for sale.
The plants will be provided by Robin Denning of Brentwood Bay Nursery, and display roses will cost $0.50 per stem at the end of the show.

The Vancouver Rose Society has been advocating for the benefits, beauty, and care of roses since 1949, according to the description of its Facebook group.
“We share advice on any of these topics,” it says. “Join us in our love of roses!”
