Here are the rules and special notes for this class which is supported by Garden News and with prizes sponsored by Thompson and Morgan.

The Top Vase class is open to anyone who grows flowers and you don't have to be an award-winning exhibitor or flower arranger to take part.

Competition Rules

1. The Top Vase class is for a vase of mixed flowering stems containing a total of between 5 and 10 stems, taken from a minimum of two different kinds of plant.
   Please note that it is two different KINDS of plants - two varieties of the same plant are NOT two kinds.
2. The display is judged out of a total of 35 points, split into: 25 points for colour, form, condition, quality and freshness of the flowers on display, and 10 marks for the overall presentation and effect of the flowers in the vase.
   The vase will be viewed from all directions. Judging of the flowers should be to the normal rules used for other classes.
3. Stems used in the display must be showing flowers only; no seed-heads of berries will be allowed.
4. The vase can be any shape or size and made from any material, but must be in proportion to the display. No marks are awarded for the vase itself.
5. No accessories whatsoever - such as bows and additional foliage - will be allowed. Foliage which is growing naturally from the flowering stem, and still attached to that stem, will be allowed. Packing material - including floral foam - to keep the stems in place is allowed.

Notes for exhibitors and judges

• Flowering stems can be taken from ANY flowering plant.
• The different kinds of plants need to be taken from different genera. For instance, pinks, carnations and sweet william, which are all dianthus, would not be classed as different kinds.
• Use only fresh, home-grown flowers. No dried or silk flowers allowed.
• A vase, by definition, is any vessel that can be used to hold cut flowers and which is taller than it is wide at its widest point.
• The Garden News Top Vase class is open for anyone to enter and is not intended purely for growers who regularly display in single species classes at shows.
• Judges should use their discretion when judging, bearing in mind that entries may come from inexperienced exhibitors.
• Judges should note that the display has to be viewed all round.
• The points awarded should be clearly marked by the judges on exhibitors' cards.
• Any queries that may arise, regarding anything other than the above rules, should be referred to and decided by, the Show officials.
  Failure to abide by any of these rules will lead to disqualification.
