SDRS Consulting Rosarians
The following SDRS and ARS members earned the designation of Consulting Rosarian by attending a seminar and passing a comprehensive test on rose culture. These members chose to become Consulting Rosarians to assist you with rose growing by answering questions and doing garden consultations when needed. They are all experienced and knowledgeable rose growers and are happy to help you grow more beautiful roses. Give one a call or send them an e-mail message. In 2005 the American Rose Society created a new Master Rosarian designation. Master Rosarians are indicated below by an asterisk (*).
