Southwest Louisiana Rose Society - Fall Rose Show November 11, 2017

Congratulation to Julie Engert and the Southwest Louisiana Rose Society for hosting a great rose show on November 11, 2017 at the LSU AgCenter in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  The theme of this year's event was "Honoring Our Veterans" and the show was held on Veterans Day.  There were lots of great roses, great rose friends, plus some great food to enjoy.  Thanks to this year's horticulture judges for taking time to come judge the event: Frank and Flo Hover, Linda Aguzin, Clyde and Marie Bartlett, and Clyde and Becky Davis.  Plus thanks to our arrangement judges B.J. Abshire and Marilyn Wellan.
