The Greater Milwaukee Rose Society is a nonprofit 501(c)3 (tax free) organization affiliated with the American Rose Society and the North Central District. Founded in 1946, we are a group of amateur rose growers with varied level of experience. We exist to provide rose growing education and inspiration to anyone who would like to grow roses.
Our Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month, January – October, with some schedule changes June – August. We meet in the Community Room of Waterstone Bank, 6560 S 27th Street, Oak Creek, WI. Check our website and Facebook page to find current information on meetings/events. Everyone is welcome to attend our programs, where Consulting Rosarians of THE AMERICAN ROSE Society are available to answer your rose growing questions.
The Greater Milwaukee Rose Society is celebrating our 80th anniversary. In celebration of this achievement, we are offering rose growers three months of our digital newsletter, courtesy of the Greater Milwaukee Rose Society.
