I'm thankful that thorns have roses. We have several members in the Pacific Northwest, as well as other parts of the US and Canada.
Local meeting are fun and educational.
They are held 5 times per year in the Puget Sound region. An informative newsletter useful for the novice as well as the more advanced is published and mailed out to members 5 times per year. There is a quarterly newsletter jam packed with useful and interesting information on breeding roses.
