Tampa Rose Society (TRS)

TRS is a non-profit organization that serves the Tampa Bay area and is affiliated with American Rose Society and Deep South District of the American Rose Society.

We enjoy and benefit from a variety of excellent guest speaker programs, an award winning monthly newsletter and educational materials to help members grow and enjoy beautiful roses. Our Consulting Rosarians will answer just about any question you may have about choosing and growing roses in the Tampa Bay area. We also conduct an annual rose show and organize bus tours to several Central Florida rose gardens in our area.

Our society's purpose is to encourage interest in growing, enjoying and sharing roses and to foster fellowship among those who love roses. We strive to make a difference in our community by educating the public about our national flower. Members enjoy discussing and learning best practices for maintaining our rose gardens and working together on rose related projects. We are proud of the fact that we have one of the strongest rose societies in the Deep South District.
