Our History Founded in 1892, the American Rose Society is the oldest and largest single plant horticultural society in America. The ARS is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to the cultivation and enjoyment of roses. ARS supports its members by providing educational programs, resourceful publications, and continuing research. We have more than 250 local society chapters in our national network. Most ARS members are home gardeners like you who enjoy growing roses and want to expand their knowledge of rose culture. Many members also enjoy the thrill of exhibiting their roses in competition with other rose-lovers or participating in photography contests and other rose-related activities. The ARS has developed standards and guidelines for judging these competitions. We also publish a schedule of the various workshops, seminars, garden events and rose shows across the United States. The Society publishes an award-winning bi-monthly magazine, American Rose, which is devoted exclusively to roses and rose culture. ARS has been headquartered on the grounds of the beautiful American Rose Center near Shreveport, Louisiana since 1974. ARS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization. Mission Statement - The ARS exists to promote the culture, preservation and appreciation of the Rose and to improve its standard of excellence for all people, through education and research. Vision Statement - The rose is America’s National Floral Emblem. As an educational, non-profit organization, we aspire to be the best source and most ardent advocate for rose education, horticultural information, history, research and preservation; for our members, affiliated rose societies and their members, and for all people. The Rose – Our National Floral Emblem: On November 20, 1986, President Ronald Reagan, signed Proclamation 5574 declaring the Rose to be The National Floral Emblem of the United States of America.
