The Greater Milwaukee Rose Society is a nonprofit 501(c)3 (tax free) organization affiliated with the American Rose Society and the North Central District. Founded in 1946, we are a group of amateur rose growers with varied level of experience. We exist to provide rose growing education and inspiration to anyone who would like to grow roses.
Our Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month, January – October. We meet in the Community Room of Waterstone Bank, 6560 S 27th Street, Oak Creek, WI. Check our website and Facebook page to find current information on meetings/events. Everyone is welcome to attend our programs, where Consulting Rosarians of THE AMERICAN ROSE Society are available to answer your rose growing questions.
The Greater Milwaukee Rose Society is celebrating our 80th anniversary. In celebration of this achievement, we are offering rose growers three months of our digital newsletter, courtesy of the Greater Milwaukee Rose Society.
GMRS Upcoming Activities:
Tuesday, October 13th Program: Trusted Roses – A.R.T.S. identifies regionally adapted roses through scientific trialing methodology, by Dr David Zlesak. Dr Zlesak is Professor of Horticulture at UW River Falls and President of the American Rose Trials for Sustainability (A.R.T.S.). The A.R.T.S. program started in 2012 after the disbanding of the AARS program. University scientists, public gardens, and industry members came together to establish this 501(c)3 dedicated to helping consumers identify roses that are well adapted to their region and should thrive with basic plant care. David will share how the program is conducted and the latest winning roses for our region. Join us at our Waterstone Bank location or register to join us by zoom! Program begins at 7PM in the Community Room at Waterstone Bank, 6560 S 27th Street, Oak Creek. See you there!
