Our Mission

The Bradenton-Sarasota Rose Society is a non-profit organization established to encourage and assist in the cultivation of roses as a hobby and to provide educational resources to its members and to the public. Society meetings are held on a quarterly basis. To join the Society please contact Diane Celeste, Membership Chair at 941-358-6991 or info@b-srs.org.
