Each meeting will focus on a new topic and include a program or activity, refreshments, and a short business meeting. Consulting Rosarians will be available to answer questions. 

The Gainesville Rose Society, founded in 1964, serves Gainesville, Alachua, and surrounding counties. They inform, educate, and promote our National Floral Emblem, the rose, as they encourage and help people to grow roses. Their meetings cover topics like rose trials, growing roses in pots, roses for various locations, and many other aspects of growing and enjoying roses. Anyone interested in roses is invited to attend meetings and become a member. GRS is one of nearly 400 societies nationwide and is affiliated with the American Rose Society.
