Officer's List
Janet Newburgh
President
I have enjoyed gardening since I was 9 years old. Some of my fondest early memories were watching my grandmother start rose cuttings under glass jars, and the huge, beautiful red roses that my mother grew. In addition to the Tallahassee Area Rose Society, I am an active volunteer in Leon County’s Master Gardener Program. I am especially interested in yellow roses of all types, but I also grow a wide variety of other roses, including miniatures and old garden roses.
Cheryl Gifford
Vice-President
I grew up watching my mother grow roses, and I have always had a few roses, no matter where we lived. When we moved to Tallahassee in 2017, old garden roses became an obsession!

I’m a long-suffering spouse of a rose aficionado.

Marion Nimis
Board Member
I've been a TARS member for many years and was president from 2014-2016. I've loved roses since I was young living in London England, watching my father pruning and fussing over his roses. I began buying old country roses from the sale at Goodwood 30 years ago and now it's rather out of hand.
