It's on 11am to 4pm today, and you'll find it at Loftus Community Hall.

That's 119 to 129 Loftus Avenue, Loftus.

So you can go across, have a look at their public competition.

I was actually at the National Rose Show the other week, and... having a chat to everyone down there but you can also go through and ask advice so if you're again looking for that specialist advice and maybe the secret sauce to make your roses bloom extra specially for you in your garden go and have a look at that that's the spring rose show again at loftus

There we go.

It's the garden clinic.

That's exactly right.

The Rose Show's on this weekend and all these other garden shows and open gardens is the best way to see plants growing at their peak, flowering at their peak, and you can talk to people on how do they achieve those fantastic results.

Exactly.

So just to finish up with the Geranium and Pelargonium Society, that's 9.30 until 3 today at Cowandilla.

Entry is $4.

As you mentioned, Marilyn, the Rose Society of SA Spring Rose Show is at the Barossa Central Shopping Mall.

and that is 1 Murray Street in Nooriutpa today from 12 noon until 5 p.m. and tomorrow 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. because, of course, Kelvin Trimper was all about taking the roses to the people.
