Curious about becoming an ARS Consulting Rosarian?
The Tacoma Rose Society is proud of the number of its Members who have taken the American Rose Society course curriculum for ARS Certified Consulting Rosarians or CR.
There are over 1290 CRs in America. They are continually trained to provide important information on rose culture and are expected to share their time and talent with both new and old rose lovers.
If you are already a TRS Member and would like to know more, just send us a message, and someone will respond to your inquiry. Or visit with us at a meeting. We are also in the Point Defiance Rose Garden on the 1st Saturday of March for the Spring Pruning where we answer questions & prune the 1500 roses in the morning.
