Thousands of roses will be on display from October 28 – 29.
“There will probably be in excess of 800 blooms, the hall will be covered – it will be beautiful,” Janet Bowden said.
“All the different varieties – the miniatures, mini floras, floribundas, hybrid teas, modern shrubs – they will all be there.
“Most of them will be named, and there will be roses to purchase.
After the festival on the Sunday, people will be able to purchase the blooms for their own homes.
“The A grade roses are just beautiful,” Mrs Bowden said.
“They will probably last for two to three weeks.”
In addition to the beautiful displays, there will be stalls selling, roses, plants, garden tools, craft, sandwiches and devonshire tea.
Details: Saturday, October 28 12-5pm and Sunday, October 29 9am-3.15pm at Jamberoo Municipal Hall, Allowrie Street, Jamberoo. Admission $5, concession $3.
