Cultiviating the rose for exhibition is a challenge to even the most astute rose grower. One of the most important aspects of exhibiting is to insure that the rose's perfection is reached as close to showtime as possible, and this requires many detailed procedures. For example, plant feeding must be carefully regulated. If cold weather threatens to keep the flower from blooming, the cultivator should begin feeding with a quick-acting, high-nitrogen fertilizer. Carefully timed spraying is also of great importance in growing prize-winning roses. Pesticides sprayed too close to exhibition day may leave unsightly spots on the foliage. Spotty leaves, or shredded stems, take points away from even the loveliest bloom. These tips are among many the serious rose grower needs to consider when cultivating a show rose. One popular exhibition rose is the Persian Yellow Rose, a member of the Austrian Briar group. Introduced in 1838 from Persia, this lovely flower was used by rose breeders to develop the brilliamt color of later varieties. The Persian Yellow Rose bears small deep yellow blooms, and glossy green leaves and stems cover the vigorous upright canes which can extend up to ten feet in length.
