We have about 100 active members. Since Bermuda is an island about 700 miles from the U.S. coastline in the Atlantic Ocean, remote from other influences, it has been called a living museum of roses. Roses were brought to the island by ships travelling from all over the world. Our main goal is to protect Bermuda's rose heritage. We are mainly interested in Old Garden Roses.

Each year the Bermuda Rose Society raises about 1000 slips of our Old Garden Roses, which we sell. We also donate some to Government and to the Bermuda National Trust for parks and public gardens.

The Society meets monthly from October through May, usually on the first Friday of the month at the Horticultural Hall in the Bermuda Botanical Gardens in Paget. Any rosarian visitors are welcome to attend. The Society issues approximately four Newsletters per season. We do not accept foreign membership. As a prerequisite for membership, all persons must attend two meetings prior to submitting an application which is supported by two exist

Fees:$30.00 per year
Life Membership: $250 (may be applied for after 10 years)
