Membership Info

WELCOME to the Greater Atlanta Rose Society website!  Thank you for taking the time to view our site.
Our members share a common goal - the enjoyment of roses and spreading that enjoyment to other gardeners. We accomplish this education and promotion through our monthly meetings, special events, rose show, garden tours, newsletter and Consulting Rosarian program.

Enjoy your visit!  We hope you find it interesting and informative.

2013 Rose Show Schedule  

Remember the great song "With A Little Help From My Friends"?  GARS could use a little help this year to defray some of the costs of putting on our annual rose show.  If you feel inclined to help, and I hope you will, your donation would be gladly accepted.  If you would like an opportunity to sponsor a class in the show, click on the link to see your options!

We had an excellent program in April and want to thank Chris VanCleave (our Redneck Rosarian) for opening our eyes to options on how to promote roses!  All rose enthusiasts should check out his website.  Very enterprising 21st century thoughts about growing roses and growing rose members! www.redneckrosarian.com.

IN MEMORIAM
God thought the Heavenly rose garden needed some loving hands and He chose two of our most beloved members to join Him.  Our hearts break over the loss of Mose McCall on June 22 and Lori Nelson on July 3.  May you rest in peace our precious rose friends.  We will miss you always.
