Rose exhibitors take the art and skill of growing roses to the competitive level. If you've never been to a rose show, the experience is sure to be embedded in your sensory memories. The fragrance, the colors, and the talent. Join us at the next Rose Show to view all of the award-winning roses, and learn how to exhibit roses at the next show and the San Diego County Fair by joining the San Diego Rose Society.
