In addition to publishing a monthly newsletter, the Reno Rose Society hosts many programs, workshops, and entertaining events throughout the year. Our major event for 2010 is "A Day of Wine & Roses" which includes our annual rose show, a wine tasting, art show, raffle, and luncheon. You are welcome to view our show page as well as check out this year's winners:

We also co-host with the City of Reno Parks and Recreation Department a free public pruning demonstration at the Reno Municipal Rose Garden on the last Saturday in March where you can come and learn how to prune as well as get tips from ARS-accredited Consulting Rosarians who will be on hand to answer your questions and help you grow beautiful roses. Be sure to check back often for updates and don't miss out on the fun!
