    CRs willingly and enthusiastically share their time and talent with both new and old rosarians. We have several CRs in our Society and members can consult with them – free of charge.

    A CR can address almost any question about growing roses. A CR provides basic, as well as advanced, information to the rosarian. Our motto is to “keep the information simple and understandable”. For more Info: American Rose Society Consulting Rosarians
