The Grand Valley Rose Society and its parent organization, the American Rose Society,
are nonprofit organizations dedicated to promoting the enjoyment and cultivation of roses.
This Rose Show continues our tradition of sharing our love of roses with others in our
community.

The Grand Valley Rose Society offers educational programs on the various aspects of
growing roses, as well as hands–on gardening activities to learn and share rose care
techniques. Another focus of our organization is to provide opportunities for socializing and
enjoying the company of other rose enthusiasts.

For membership information, please ask at the Rose Show Registration Table or
contact our Grand Valley Rose Society Co–Presidents, Roberta Forbes at (970) 254–8223
or Donna Scott at (970) 243–8905.
