There are presently 22 active local Rose Societies in the Deep South District. These societies provide an immediate source of information for interested rose growers in their areas. Most societies meet on a monthly basis and have programs featuring knowledgeable rosarians speaking on all aspects of rose culture. Most societies have other activities such as Garden Tours, Exhibiting and Arranging seminars, various types of workshops (such as Pruning Demonstrations), social events and Rose Shows that are open to all exhibitors whether society members or not.
Most Rose Societies have ARS Consulting Rosarians who are available to answer rose-related questions (free of charge) about growing roses in their specific geographic area. Many societies also have websites with valuable information about rose growing in their locale.
