ARS local website awards - 2007Welcome to the
Humboldt Rose Society

Clustered in the shadows of magnificent redwoods along California's northern coast, Humboldt County has often been called one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Here, within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean roses bloom and foliage thrives under the thumbs of some of the region's most dedicated and ingenious gardeners.

In our moist climate, there are many challenges facing the rosarian. The Humboldt Rose Society is here to help and to celebrate the many successes that make our land so beautiful. We are a non-profit organization affiliated with the American Rose Society to promote interest in all aspects of rose horticulture through rose shows, educational programs, garden tours and other rose related projects. Whether you are a beginning rose grower or a veteran of the horticultural wars, the Humboldt Rose Society has something for you.


Two Pruning Demonstrations in January. No Membership Meeting.

In lieu of its usual second-Thursday-of-the-month meeting, the Humboldt Rose Society will provide two pruning demonstrations. Experts will demonstrate/discuss pruning techniques for all varieties of roses: hybrid teas, floribundas, climbers, bushes. This is also rose-planting time, so it will be a good time to get suggestions about which roses do best in the various micro-climates of this area. There will be a drawing at both locations with the winner at each receiving an evaluation of their home rose garden by one of the group's experts. For more information, visit our events page.

Update on Ryan House Gardens

On April 2nd, Deborah Giraud and her Master Gardener students spent their class time working in the garden. The grass was mowed, the cottage garden rototilled, and the perimeter of the formal garden was planted with baby boxwoods. Shortly after that work was done, members of the rose society spread manure over the cottage garden and then covered it with a thick layer (6 bales) of rice straw. The next step is to do the same to the formal garden. For more information, please contact Lynne Sarty at starstrm@suddenlink.net
