Stop and smell the roses! On Saturday, May 12th the Pleasanton Senior Center will be filled with the scent of glorious roses as the 72nd Annual Pleasanton Rose Show gets underway. This FREE show is dubbed “The People’s Show” because anyone can bring their homegrown roses. The tradition started at a Pleasanton bank in the 1930’s, when Harry Harding gave his customers rose bushes to show his appreciation for their patronage. His customers returned the favor by bringing back blooms for him.
The City of Pleasanton’s Community Services Department has partnered with Alain Pinel Realtors to continue this tradition. The Show is managed by the “Rosettes” of Alain Pinel Realtors: Leslie Faught, Marti Gilbert and Joyce Jones.
Proud gardeners may bring their display blooms to the Senior Center for registration from 7:30 am to 10:00 am.
Judging occurs from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm with the Awards Ceremony at 1:30 pm. Wine tasting will be offered from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm featuring fine wines from Little Valley Winery of Pleasanton. Don’t miss this lovely Pleasanton tradition -- and the chance to show off your roses!
