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. CRs pledge to serve the American Rose Society and its local societies by finding new members and providing rose-growing advice free-of-charge to all people interested in roses.
Questions about growing roses in Alabama, Florida, or Georgia? Many of the societies have websites with valuable local rose information, meeting dates and contacts. Contact an American Rose Society CONSULTING ROSARIAN (CR) who lives near you.
