Reproduced from an original volume of Les Roses by Belgian-born Pierre Joseph Redouté [published 1828-1829] held in the Archives, Royal 'Botanic Garden Melbourne.'

We are a non-profit organization affiliated with the American Rose Society.  The purpose of the society is to encourage and create interest in the growing of roses, and to foster a better understanding of their cultivation.  

Join the ARS

The American Rose Society is offering a four-month trial membership for only $10 to anyone who is interested in becoming a member of the organization.  Most ARS members are home gardeners who enjoy growing roses and want to expand their knowledge of rose culture.

The ARS is also offering a  four-month trial membership for only $5 to anyone who is a member of a local society.  In addition, a Free Trial 4-Month membership is also available to all NEW NON ARS members of all Local Societies.  The only requirement for the FREE trial membership offer is that the local society President must forward the names and contact information, including e-mail address, of new members to  ARS Headquarters.  If you qualify for a free trial membership, please contact Sue Ruxton.
