Darlac, the cutting tools experts, are delighted to announce sponsorship of awards in the Star Classes of the recently formed Rose Society UK.

The Star Classes represent the best in classes for distinct types of roses. They are contested at each of the 4 national shows of the society. A voucher is given to each winner for redemption against Darlac tools at the shows. Shows are held at the RHS Malvern Spring Show, The Squires Summer Show, the Chorley Summer Rose Show and the Harrogate Autumn Show.

Commenting on the link, Darlac MD Tim Jeffries said: “We are delighted to sponsor these awards for The Rose Society UK. As suppliers of quality pruning tools, the link between Darlac and rose growers is obvious and prizes for the prestige ‘Star of the Show’ classes is perfect for Darlac. It is important for us also that we support this newly formed group, following the unfortunate demise of The Royal National Rose Society last year, as roses are so much part of our national heritage.”

Darlac will also provide pruning tools for use in a new range of website videos being prepared by The Rose Society.

Chairman of the Rose Society UK, John Anthony, said “We are most grateful for the continued sponsorship of our Star Classes. The classes are intended to showcase the best roses of their type, expertly grown by our members and rewarded appropriately by vouchers for Darlac’s range of Expert tools – it’s an obvious partnership”

The Darlac range of tools is available online and from stockists nationwide.
