Thursday, November 20, is our annual Rose Auction, the major fund raising event of the year, and starts at 6:00 PM. RIR is donating roses and members are bringing more from their own gardens – so we expect bidders to have a lot of choices.

This month we’ll be “treated” to a presentation by John – full of “tips” on how to get our roses and rose gardens ready for the fall and winter.

We’ll start our 9/18 meeting at 7PM with a Clinic by Bruce about what to do in your rose garden in early Fall.

To enter your roses at The Fair, register online by August 25. If you can’t, arrive at the Fair gate early with your roses and register when you enter the Floral Building.

The 2025 Tacoma Rose Show was a beautiful rose show & rose lovers filled event! The UPS
Rotunda continues to be a beautiful place to showcase everyone’s roses.

Here are some images from our TRS Rose Show in the UPS Rotunda

Our hands-on program will be focused on building the components of a basic
drip irrigation system to improve the hydration of your rose garden.
