New Zealand rose breeder and grower Rob Somerfield has again cleaned up at the New Zealand Rose of the Year awards, winning the Pacific Rose Bowl for the sixth time and claiming most of the other top 2019 awards.
The Pacific Rose Bowl for the New Zealand Rose of the Year Trial winner went to his new rose Everlasting Hope.
It also won the trophy for Best New Zealand Raised Rose as well as the prize for Best Shrub Rose.
Everlasting Hope was bred by Rob at his base near Tauranga and entered by his nursery Glenavon Roses.
