Year Story
Refining the process
After the momentum of 2023, I approached 2024 with a calmer rhythm. I focused on stem conditioning, travel timing, and staging choices that could make each entry look its best once it reached the Bellevue show floor.
The Seattle Rose Show in Factoria always brings thoughtful judges and great conversation with other growers. This year felt less about surprises and more about steady improvement in every category I entered.
Looking back, 2024 became a useful bridge year that set up confidence and better routines for the seasons that followed.
