The Uruguayan <strong>Rose</strong> Society was founded in Montevideo in 1983 by an enthusiastic<br />

group <strong>of</strong> Garden Club members who were particularly interested in roses and wished to<br />

intensify their knowledge and culture in our country. There are now three Affiliate societies,<br />

one in Punta del Este, Maldonado , one in Tarariras, Colonia in the West and a newly created<br />

one in Dolores, Soriano also in the West <strong>of</strong> the country. A fourth Affiliate society will be<br />

established shortly in Tacuarembo in the North..<br />

As detailed on our website, our Society has the following program <strong>of</strong> activities:<br />

• Monthly members’ meetings with select lecturers from local, regional and<br />

foreign societies and rose growers<br />

• Annual Spring <strong>Rose</strong> Show<br />

• Pruning workshops<br />

• Visits to private gardens<br />

• Annual outings in Uruguay and neighbouring countries<br />

• Organized group visits to <strong>World</strong> <strong>Rose</strong> events<br />

• <strong>Rose</strong> market sales<br />

• Circulating rose library<br />

• Email rose enquiries<br />

• Welcome gift for newcomers<br />

Our Annual Report and Bulletin, both in Spanish and English, is handed out to all<br />

members free <strong>of</strong> charge, and is sent to all WFRS member countries, affiliates and to <strong>Rose</strong><br />

friends around the world. Our association in turn receives publications from other WFRS<br />

member countries and <strong>of</strong>ten regrets that such interesting and useful foreign information has<br />

not been translated into English, the <strong>of</strong>ficial WFRS language.<br />

Membership: We have three categories: Active members, Camp members and Family<br />

members.<br />
