The Bermuda Rose Society has about 100 active members. Since Bermuda is an<br />

island about 700 miles from the U.S. coastline in the Atlantic Ocean, remote from other<br />

influences, it has been called a living museum of roses. Roses were brought <strong>to</strong> the island by<br />

ships travelling from all over the world. Our main goal is <strong>to</strong> protect Bermuda's rose heritage.<br />

We are mainly interested in Old Garden Roses.<br />

Each year the Bermuda Rose Society raises about 1,000 slips of our Old Garden<br />

Roses, which we sell. We also donate some <strong>to</strong> Government and <strong>to</strong> the Bermuda National<br />

Trust for parks and public gardens<br />

The Society meets monthly from Oc<strong>to</strong>ber through May, usually on the first Friday of<br />

the month at the Horticultural Hall in the Bermuda Botanical Gardens in Paget. Any rosarian<br />

visi<strong>to</strong>rs are welcome <strong>to</strong> attend. The Society issues approximately four Newsletters per<br />

season. We do not accept foreign membership. As a prerequisite for membership, all persons<br />

must attend two meetings prior <strong>to</strong> submitting an application that is supported by two existing<br />

members.<br />

Fees: $30.00 per year<br />

Life <strong>Membership</strong>: $250 (may be applied for after 10 years)<br />
