Coming to a monthly meeting
is free!
Our next
meeting will be held on Wednesday 11th July
commencing at 7pm. Guest Speaker is Tony
Johnson from "Weeding Hoe".
We meet at the Annerley Church Hall (Downstairs), 459 Annerley
Road, Annerley Junction.
If you have a passion for roses this
is for you. The Rose Society is a group of everyday
people who love growing roses or just admiring them.
Most gardeners grow between 2 and 20 rose buses,
some grow lots more.
If you have
roses, would like to grow roses, would like to show
them off, or just attend some shows to look at
beautiful displays, then
come along and meet us. We have many
low cost
social events for members. There is a demonstration
on how to prune roses at the end of June each year. We visit beautiful
private gardens of rose society members that never
open to the general public.
