- Description:
- Postcard (color, linen texture, white border, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled: T-28 Bed of Roses, Thomasville, GA. Scene in Thomasville Rose Show. 11,000 Rose Buds Were Used in Making This Display. - Thomasville’s first Rose Show was in 1921. Neel’s Department Store — at Broad and Jackson streets in the center of downtown Thomasville — offered a show site. Counters in the millinery department were cleared to make way for roses, annuals of several kinds and pot plants. The show has since been held in a number of locations — from a Buick dealership show room to a basketball gymnasium, a tobacco warehouse, an airport hangar and an American Legion post. The rose Festival was added in 1948. The only time the Rose Show was canceled was in 1955, when no roses were available for display because of a late freeze. No descriptive text on the reverse. Postage affixed 1 cent green Washington stamp. Card number E-6979.
