President - Alexander Ukolov
Roses appeared in the middle of the 17th century in the gardens of the Tsar Mikhail Fedorovitch, and until the 19th century they were only grown in the gardens of the nobility. Roses became widespread in the 20th century. First orchards that specialized in industrial rose cultivation were established. Large collections of roses were created in the main botanic garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow and in the Nikitskiy botanic garden in the USSR period. New cultivars were created and technology for the advancement of rose culture in northern regions was developed in the institutes of scientific research. Unfortunately due to limited financing for such scientific work,the development of new Russian cultivars fell behind much of the rest of the world. But it is our hope to now establish rose gardens and bring the newest roses to people in Russia.
The Russian Association of Rosarians was established under the auspices of the World Federation of Rose Societies, led by WFRS President Gérald Meylan. Russia joined the WFRS on May 7, 2007 and the Russian Association of Rosarians became its 37th member.
The Russian Association of Rosarians was established as a non-commercial organization. It has its own rose orchard and plans to hold rose competitions in the near future. The majority of its members are enthusiastic amateur rosarians, both those who are beginners and those who have been cultivating roses for a long time. They want to broaden their knowledge of roses and to know more about the rose novelties in the world.
Membership in the Russian Association of Rosarians is open to everyone. There is an annual fee of 1000 rubles.
Members receive the Association bulletin, informational material, brochures, articles, invitations to exhibitions, and access to consultations for all rose questions. They also can take part in trials, seminars and training programs.
