The Royal National Rose Society
The RNRS is a charitable trust whose main aim and interest is to promote the
rose.
The Society is run by a Board of Trustees whose role is to manage the Society and the head
quarters at the Gardens of the Rose in St Albans.
Throughout the year the Society organises amateur rose shows across the UK; the season
opener is at Malvern in Worcester at the Spring show. Summer shows are held at Squires Garden Centre in Badshot Lea, Farnham and at Newby Hall in Ripon, Yorkshire. In the Autumn, the last National show is held in conjunction with the Great Autumn Show at Harrogate. Last
year saw the Show for Miniature Roses return to it's home, back in the Society's Garden of the Rose. This was a landmark event for the Society
and it is hoped that this year, many more events will be staged at the new Garden of the Rose.

As the roses begin to bloom, it's hard to believe that some of the
bushes have been planted only a few months.
In the slideshow below are some pictures from the gardens in June.
