Crisp fall air, stunning views, tasty treats and locally made wine and beer await you at the Deep South District Fall Rose Show and Convention. This year our convention will be hosted at Chateau Meichtry, one of the many quaint wineries in the North Georgia Mountains. Join us on Friday to help set up before participating in an arrangements seminar to sharpen your skills at crafting beautiful arrangements. Friday night dinner at the Chateau features local Ellijay BBQ and all the fixins’. Rise and shine on Saturday morning and bring your roses early (opens at 6 am) for a spectacular show to be held in the newly constructed wine aging room. We are excited to welcome new competitors and our experienced contestants will be on hand to help you get those winning entries polished to their best.

Food trucks from local restaurants will provide local cuisine for lunch and then we are holding seminars all afternoon Saturday while hundreds—that’s right— of spectators come and see the show. Be ready to recruit a few new members for our North Georgia Rose Societies!

Several vendors will be present sell- ing unique roses, fertilizers, chemicals, and other rose growing supplies. A raffle of rose themed baskets will precede the Saturday night banquet and awards ceremony. Then, stick around for one more glass and the camaraderie of rosarians from around the Southeast—see old friends and make new ones.

Sunday is for collecting your trophies and saying goodbye to the Days of Wine and Roses.
