PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 


Welcome to the Tallahassee Area Rose Society! We are a nonprofit organization affiliated with the American Rose Society. Our members are from throughout the area, and not just Tallahassee; in addition to Leon County, some current members hale from Jefferson, Gadsden, and Madison counties. We welcome all who enjoy America’s official favorite flower, whether it’s growing them, showing them, sharing them with others, or just enjoying their visual beauty and varying scents. 

 

We generally have meetings on the first Thursday of most months of the year at one of Leon County’s public libraries. We also have special events from time to time; a very special event is our 39th rose show this Saturday, September 26, 2026. This rose show will be held in the American Legion Hall, located at 1085 S Water Street in Monticello, Florida. It is free, and all are welcome! Show Chair Cheryl Gifford and her team have been working hard to make this show spectacular! Come and enjoy a lovely day among rose friends and enjoy seeing and smelling some beautiful roses. Take a good look at your own garden to see if you find some beauties to share. A local rose grower will have rose plants for sale. 

 

Because of the show, the Tallahassee Area Rose Society will not meet in October, so the next regular meeting will be on Thursday, November 5, in the Leon County Main Library, Program Room A. We welcome you to join us and to enjoy camaraderie with other rose lovers.
