  Our Purpose

The motto of the Richmond Rose Society is "Helping Richmonders grow better roses."
While doing this we also learn to be better gardeners and have a wonderful time together.

Our annual rose show features blooms submitted by exhibitors from throughout
Virginia and the Colonial District of the American Rose Society.

Please look through our website, e-mail a question, visit our annual rose show, or come to a monthly meeting to learn more about how you can enjoy our national flower. You do not need to be an accomplished gardener to join our club. The Richmond Rose Society is about learning together and sharing with others.
