The Biltmore International Rose Trials follows the guidelines set by the World Federation of Rose Societies in conducting International Trials. These trials generally last two years and the roses are judged for their garden worthiness not for the form of their flower as is done in some rose shows. The Biltmore Trials use sustainable care methods so you can rest assured the winners will do well in your home garden.
