This schedule includes a range of classes for irises, peonies and roses. We understand that it is uncommon for all three to be in flower at the same time, but variations in the date of the Show and the weather make it difficult to predict which are likely to be ready in any given year. Because of this, an extra Iris and Peony Show using the classes of Sections 2 and 3 is held at the regular June meeting of the Society.
