Advice & Education — North Bay Rose Society

Education is the Cornerstone of our Rose Society

Distilled to the core, we are an educational organization. Members work to promote the culture, preservation, and appreciation of the Rose, and to improve its standard of excellence for all people, through advice, education and research. We do this in many ways to meet the ever changing needs of communities we serve.

The North Bay Rose Society produces monthly programs that include classes, demonstrations, lectures, and workshops based in rose education.
Our Vice PresidentKaren Anne McCann develops the schedule based on feedback from the community and membership.
It can all begin with a smile. Our Community Outreach Team engages the public with smiles, laughter, and sound rose advice.
Presence at local civic and art events is an important gateway to teaching others about America’s floral emblem, the rose.
Members of the society with an extra sprinkle of artistic flare design and install rose arrangements in the community to inspire rose appreciation and to garner NBRS visability.
Consulting Rosarians give lectures and demonstrations in the community as a representative of North Bay Rose Society at public fairs, horticulture clubs, nurseries, and schools.
