CASNR pair place in designing with roses competition
A nonprofit association dedicated to the introduction and promotion of exceptional roses recently announced that its winning gardens for the 2007 "Designing with Roses" competition included a second place finish for two students from Texas Tech University's Department of Landscape Architecture.
San Francisco-based All-America Rose Selections reported that Jeff Alexander and Katie Truitt of Texas Tech were honored for their student category work (right) on the Ida Mauser Memorial Rose Garden.
Exceptionally Entries. "We were thrilled to receive such exceptionally well designed entries for both our professional and student categories," said Tom Carruth, president of All-American Rose Selections. "The judges had a very tough job on their hands."
Judges from Better Homes & Gardens, the American Society of Landscape Architects, Weeks Roses, Mae Nurseries and Jackson & Perkins considered submissions from across the country for the second annual competition.
Site Design. Professionals and students submitted a variety of types of gardens including large public gardens, restoration projects, memorial gardens, university grounds and private homes. Judges selected the designs that best demonstrated excellent landscape design execution, and incorporation of rose plants into the site design.
First place in the student category went to Stephanie Gautama of Cornell University for the Stallman Rose Garden: Meditation, Celebration, Reflection, while third place was awarded to Elaine Stevenson of County College of Morris "" New Jersey for the House of Roses.
All-America Rose Selections is a nonprofit association dedicated to the introduction and promotion of exceptional roses. For some seven decades, the AARS trial program has encouraged the rose industry to improve the vitality, disease resistance and beauty of roses for American home gardens.
