The Oklahoma Rose Society's object is to study, foster and encourage rose culture
in any practical way.  To increase the general interest in the cultivation of the rose for all people
and to increase its standard of excellence.  The society is proud to be an affiliated member of the
American Rose Society.  Our monthly meetings are held at Will Rogers Exhibition Center in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma every second Thursday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.  Please join us
for fun, fellowship and new friends who will help you learn how to grow beautiful roses in your
garden and exhibit in our American Rose Society sponsored Spring and Fall Rose Shows.
Welcome!
Greetings to All!
Our meeting for September is going to be our annual Little Rose Show.   Everyone is
encouraged to bring your beautiful roses to be exhibited and judged.  We will start at 7 pm, so
bring your roses in by 6:30 pm to groom.  
We are proud to announce our Fall Rose Show for October 12th. 2008 to be held at the Will
Rogers Exhibition Center in Oklahoma City.  Details and Show Schedule is now available to
