Deep South District
Founded in 1958, we are the Deep South District of the American Rose Society, which is headquartered in Shreveport, Louisiana. We represent 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.
A Message from Cindy Dale, DSD Director
Welcome! Explore our website and you’ll find lots of helpful and interesting rose growing information in our rose posts, library, and past issues of our newsletter, the DSD Bulletin. The DSD Events tab has upcoming rose shows and district meetings with nationally known speakers in Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Whether you like modern or antique roses, low maintenance or exhibition varieties, rose photography, hybridizing or any other rose topic; you’ll find information here and at your nearest rose society meeting.
Call or email our local societies! They welcome anyone interested in rose growing, especially beginners. You do not have to be an expert to join a rose society. All our rose societies have Consulting Rosarians who stand ready to help you with your rose questions and to do garden visits at no charge.
