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.
2022 Annual NERS Rose Show
When: Saturday, June 18, 2022; 10:30 AM to 12:00 noon
AgendaThe speaker will be Gretchen Ward Warren, an expert on Walsh Ramblers. She is an American Rose Society Master Rosarian and Past-President of the Tampa Rose Society. She is well known for her award-winning rose photographs, as well as her slide show presentations of various aspects of rose horticulture and history. She has been growing, photographing and speaking about roses for over 25 years. A well known exhibitor at rose shows across Florida, she has competed in both the Horticulture and Arrangement divisions.
The walk is limited to 15 people but the talk is open to anyone. Irwin Ehrenreich (theroseman@fastmail.com) already has 2 people signed up and 3 more that will attend the talk only. If you are interested, email him with your name, cell phone number (in case you get lost in Woods Hole), email address for updates and parking information. The first 13 people to email me will get on the list. He will keep a waiting list in case someone backs out.
Once Irwin has a list of people, he will send out information on what to bring, where to park, car pooling, etc.
Congratulations Mr. ARS Vice President, Craig Dorschel
