The Rose Society of Northern Ireland enjoys the support of rosarians mainly resident
in Ireland, but also from other parts of the British Isles. The Society’s objectives are to
educate about the cultivation of the rose and to disseminate knowledge of the rose, its species
and cultivars.
Lectures are held in Belfast throughout the winter months. The summer programme
includes two Rose Shows and involvement in the City of Belfast Rose Week, along with the
International Trials at Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park.
Two newsletters are produced each year, one for each of the programme periods
referred to above. Members are able to avail themselves of all the above and also enjoy the
benefits of personal involvement.
Information about the Society and new rose information is provided on the Internet at
www.rosemerald.co.uk
Fees: £10.00 annually
