Accolades for Elphin Lodge’s gorgeous roses
The 2019 Rose Show was held at Morningside Shopping Centre on October 4 and 5.
Residents of Rand Aid’s Elphin Lodge Madge and Peter Ronald entered the village and it’s Ron Smith Care Centre into Gold Reef Rose Society’s Annual Rose Show once again.
The 2019 Rose Show was held at Morningside Shopping Centre recently.
Madge used roses from the village and care centre’s gardens to create beautiful arrangements which caught the judges’ attention and earned podium places.
The village won silver and the care centre gold in the retirement village category.
“We are so proud,” said complex manager Helen Petrie.
The certificates add to those earned at last year’s show.
The Ronalds are both rose lovers and are always happy to share their knowledge.
“Many gardens and flower beds in Elphin Lodge have beautiful roses grown by Peter,” said Helen.
