The Heritage Roses Group, formed in 1975, is a fellowship of those who care about the Old Garden Roses, Species Roses, Old or Unusual Roses, especially those roses introduced into commerce prior to the year 1867.  Its purposes are to preserve, enjoy, and share knowledge about the Old Roses. Membership numbers over 1,000 members across the U.S.A (and a few in other countries), and has served to inspire the establishment of similar groups in Australia, England, New Zealand, and France.
ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS
All members receive the quarterly national newsletter, The Rose Letter, mailed in February, May, August, and November. This 16 page booklet contains articles written by members and others on a wide variety of rose-related subjects, as well as regular sections with book reviews, growing tips, a plant exchange, and a calendar of events. Where sufficient members exist, local chapters have been formed, working together to educate members and the public, share information and research, and to promote/participate in various preservation efforts. Some of these "sub-groups" also publish newsletters. Frequency of chapter meetings vary from area to area. Agendas usually include slide lectures, plant sales, and swaps and raffles. Ask your Coordinator to refer you to a nearby local group. MEMBERSHIP
