The China Rose Society was established in 1986 and is named after Rosa chinensis.
It is based in Laizhou City in the province of Shandong, which is located in the central region
of China, west of the Yellow Sea. The region has four seasons and the climate is very mild.
The city is famous as the home of the Chinese rose, Rosa chinensis, which grows all over the
nation. In fact, 52 cities now have the Rose as their official flower.
In addition to the President, the China Rose Society has several honorary Presidents,
seven Vice-Presidents, each representing a different area of the country, and one federal
Vice-President. It promotes the exchange of scientific information, production and research.
More than 700 varieties of roses have been identified in China and the China Rose Society
recently published a Rose Directory. A major centre for research and the development of
new rose varieties has been set up in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, five other centres
have been set up around the country. Together they form a national system to assist with the
registration and identification of roses and with new Chinese varieties entering the world
market.
An Annual Rose Festival has been held in Laizhou every May 25 since 1990, and you
are all cordially invited to attend. The China Rose Society held its 4th National Conference
in October 1998. This three-day meeting focused on the production of roses, research and
technical exchanges. The China Rose Society also publishes an annual magazine.
