The History of the Marin Rose Society Trophies
For many, many years, the Marin Rose Society had only two trophies: the Netboy Trophy and the John Bennett Trophy. In 1995, the Joseph Klima and Marion Klima Trophies were added, much to the surprise and delight of the Klimas. Starting in 2001, many more trophies were added. As new classes are added, this is an ongoing process! The trophy criteria, history of winners, and the roses that won are included on each trophy page.
