2006 Jane Righter Rose Medal
Presented to Palmetto Garden Club who established an Old Rose Show at the South Carolina State Fair, being held every year since 1950, and is considered the oldest continuous old rose show in the country.
The Jane Righter Rose Medal is awarded for outstanding achievement in rose culture through the propagation of new roses, civic achievement in community rose gardens of educational value, exhibitions by amateur gardeners, or unusual rose collections of special merit.
The Jane Righter Rose Medal was endowed by the Greenwich Garden Club, Zone II, in memory of its member and a graduate and trustee of the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women. She was an active exhibitor, judge, and lecturer on gardens and well-known for her propagation of roses. The medal depicts ‘Dainty Bess,’ one of Jane’s favorite roses. The medal was first awarded in 1942 and was designed in 1941 by sculptor Gertrude K. Lathrop.
