The purpose of the Detroit Rose Society is to foster the growth of roses in the home garden and to disseminate the knowledge, beauty, grandeur and the loveliness of the rose. As members, we promote, nurture, scrutinize and improve rose culture.
The Detroit Rose Society holds monthly meetings in which rose culture is the foremost subject of interest. Members receive many benefits among which are the following:
* Rose Lore - the official publication of the Society, full of valuable information on planting, pruning, spraying, and fertilizing.
* Rose Shows - held in June and September.
* Rose clinics and garden tours -featuring practical rose growing information on planting, pruning, spraying and fertilizing.
* Consulting Rosarians - members specially designated by the American Rose Society, who are pledged to help everyone grow better roses.
* Social events -including an annual gala Holiday Party, and a summer pot luck awards dinner.
