Welcome to the Deep South District

The Deep South District of the American Rose Society represents 19 local rose societies in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The American Rose Society exists to promote the culture, preservation and appreciation of the Rose, and to improve its standard of excellence for all people, through education and research. Our District’s mission is to help every rose enthusiast grow and enjoy roses in the Deep South. We offer two District Conventions, a Rose Show and other events each year around the District.
