Benefits of Membership

By joining the Redwood Empire Rose Society (RERS), you are becoming apart of a long-standing community of rose enthusiasts and garden lovers. The Santa Rosa Chapter was founded in 1965 as a member of the American Rose Society (ARS) which is based in Shreveport, Louisiana. From advanced Master Rosarians (rose experts) to beginner gardeners, there are programs and workshops for every level of interest and skill.
