Agenda:         Michael Marriott is one of the world's leading rosarians. He is also well-known for his rose garden design and is an advocate of practical gardening techniques and organic methods.  As a garden designer, he is known for dense romantic beds whether purely roses or mixed with perennials.  His enthusiasm is infectious and his knowledge of roses is encyclopedic, especially for species roses, old roses, climbers and ramblers, the modern roses and of course, David Austin's English Roses.

 



Michael was an integral part of David Austin Roses for 35 years at the firm's headquarters in Albrighton where he played an important part in the development and popularization of English Roses.  He has intimate knowledge of all the 200-plus English Roses bred and introduced by David Austin Roses.

 

"Roses are incredibly variable and versatile plants; they can be used in many different ways in the garden from the very formal to the completely informal, and from the intimate to the large scale.  Not only can they look even more beautiful in associate with other plants, they can also help with reducing pest and disease problems. It is easy to argue that they are the most garden worthy of all plants."

Michael Marriott

The New England Rose Society has been helping people grow better roses since 1940.   


Why should I join the New England Rose Society?

Because I am not sure if rose gardening is for me, but I would like to find out.

Because I would like to learn more about roses in a friendly environment.

Because I love roses and want to share my enthusiasm with others.


Who are we?/What is the New England Rose Society?

We are a community of people from all walks of life united by our love and passion for America’s favorite flower — the Rose.


What does the New England Rose Society do?

The New England Rose Society seeks to educate its members and the public in all aspects of rose culture.


In addition to outstanding guest speakers at each meeting, we offer special seminars for in-depth exploration of rose topics, such as soil chemistry, budding and hybridizing, and pest and disease control.  Members receive discounts on roses and garden center merchandise.


Whether you are about to plant your very first rose or already have several roses in your garden, you’ll find a wealth of information in our monthly programs, newsletter, Consulting Rosarians and on-line resources.  You’ll also have the opportunity to exhibit roses in our June Rose Show, the Yankee District Rose Show and National Rose Shows.
