Thinking of a special treat for Mum for Mothers' Day? All mums love roses, and this will be an excellent opportunity to just view the great many varieties on display, or to speak with the friendly and experienced rose growers from the Queensland Rose Society who will be on hand to answer your queries, and advise you on the roses most suitable for the Queensland climate.

Cut and potted roses will be available for purchase, and the CWA provide the refreshments on both days. A great outing for Mum!

If you have a passion for roses then you are at the right place. 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.

   

Membership entitles you to additional benefits such as a quarterly newsletter with up-to-date growing information and the Australian Rose Annual, a 160 page book on rose growing in Australia from the National Rose Society. You can get support and advice from some of the best rose growers in Queensland. Get your membership application here.

   

On this website you will find plenty of information about Queensland Rose Society activities. Check out the "Calendar" tab on the left to see what is happening in 2017.
