Did you know?

Tacoma Rose Society members and friends gather at the Pt. Defiance Rose Garden the first Saturday in March for the rose garden end-of-winter pruning event.

Each Thursday during spring and summer months, TRS members provide weekly dead-heading services to help keep the rose garden at top condition.

 

 

We love you and will miss you so much, Betty Gutoski and Ralph Taylor!

Both of you have been loving mentors, teachers, & friends through the years!

Rose growers extraordinaire!

The Tacoma Rose Society was officially organized on March 14, 1911 in a meeting at the Tacoma Commercial Club on C Street.  The Society was incorporated under the laws of The State of Washington on May 3, 1913 and “its affairs were put into thorough business order.”  The first president of TRS was Carl Morissee.  He was succeeded by Herbert Hunt in 1913, and the society maintains a continuous list of Past Presidents to this day.
