All-American Rose Selections’ (AARS) “America’s Best Rose Garden” competition is a national competition to find the best public rose gardens in America. The voting closes July 1. Communities across America can vote for their favorite local garden by filling out this online form.
The top ten gardens with the most individual votes will become finalists. Then, a panel of experts from AARS will travel to the five finalist cities, evaluate the gardens, and select one winner based on beauty, creativity and the garden’s overall contribution to its community. The winning garden will receive a $2,500 cash donation and will be featured in a national PR campaign highlighting the best gardens in America.
