What is a Consulting Rosarian? A CR is a rose-grower specially trained and certified by the American Rose Society to provide free advice on growing roses. Qualifications: To become a CR, a person must have grown many types of roses for at least five years, must have been a member of the American Rose Society for the last two years, must attend a CR school, and pass a written examination.
