Trophies of the NCNH District
The Northern California-Nevada-Hawaii District of the American Rose Society separated from the District of California (Southern California became the Pacific Southwest District) in the 1940's. Our first full District Conference was held in San Francisco in 1947. A rose show was part of the meeting and all agreed that a rose show should always be a part of the annual Conference. Awards for the early rose shows were often monetary or small "keeper" items. The oldest perpetual trophy in the district is the J. Horace McFarland Trophy - first awarded in 1953. The following pages describe the individual trophy and include a photo of the trophy and a history of its winners:
