2010 SRS Calendar of Events

Membership in Spokane Rose Society is open to anyone. We meet February through November, with a special program each month.

Our regular meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the meeting room by the conservatory at Manito Park in Spokane, Washington.

However, some meetings are replaced with special events. Please see our calendar for exact times and locations.

Guests are always welcome. For members, our rose library has rose related books you can check out. A Basic Rose Care Guide is also provided to each new member.

Workshops on various topics will be held at pre-announced times throughout the year.
