She’s now calling on young people to get involved and do the same.

“If young people don’t get involved, the show could die on the vine,” Ms Byrnes said.

“You don’t have to be terrific at it — it’s a fun day.”

The annual fair, held at St David’s Uniting Church on Saturday from 9am, is now in its 20th year.

And for 10 of those, Ms Byrnes has been donating one of her rose paintings as the lucky door prize.

But this year she’s decided to mix things up a bit and has given the roses the flick in favour of a painting of St David’s.

“I was so sick of roses,” Ms Byrnes said.

“I was riding past early in the morning with the sunlight shining on it and I thought, ‘wow, I’ll do that instead’.”

The organiser since its inception, Beryl Gorring said the fair developed at a time when she was becoming involved in horticultural judging.

“A general show was too big for our needs, so we specialised,” she said.

“There weren’t any rose shows around the district and so we decided to concentrate on roses.”

Mrs Gorring joined Ms Byrne’s calls, saying everyone was welcome to exhibit, with both open and novice sections.

“There’s a place for every rose,” she said.

There will be a slave auction, stalls, devonshire tea, barbecue, children’s games and choir performance.

Entry is by gold coin donation.
