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 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 President Tanya Hall 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.

  • The North Bay Rose Society is a local Chapter of the American Rose Society and offers local members opportunities to grow their skills and knowledge with national accreditation to earn credentials as a Consulting Rosarian, Master Consulting Rosarian, Horticulture Judge, Arrangement Judge, and Photography Judge.

    Members interested in the C.R. or M.C.R. pathways are encouraged to reach out to our CR Officer Susan.

    Members interested in any of the Jud. pathways are encouraged to reach out to one of our resident Judges, Eileen or Mike.
