Meetings of the Society are held on the third Tuesday of each month with the exception of July, December and January.
Meetings commence at 8.00pm and are held at the South Perth Community Centre Cnr Sandgate St and South Tce South Perth
At each meeting we have a Guest Speaker who talks to us about the various aspects of roses, gardens and other varieties of plants. Our experienced members are always available at meetings and only too willing to share information and answer questions. In fact one of the Agenda items at the meeting is the Question Time where questions are asked from the floor and answered by our more experienced members.
The $2 entry prize provides a ticket for our Door Prize which is drawn at each of our meetings.
Visitors are always welcome at meetings and members are encouraged to bring visitors along.
Also at our monthly meetings we hold Bench Classes. This is a great venue to learn how to bench your roses. Prize cards are presented and points awarded for the various categories. These points are accumulated and prizes awarded at the end of the year at the Annual General Meeting. Members are available to show you how to bench your roses. The hall is opened early so that members can prepare their roses, and vases are provided for member's use. The bench display provides great experience on how to prepare your roses for the Autumn and Spring Shows held by the Society.
The meetings end with a Supper and members are encouraged to bring a plate to share. This is an excellent time to socialise and get to know other members of the Society. You can also look over the bench display and discuss the exhibits with the judges and fellow members.
During the evening the Society Library is available for the use of members. The library holds some excellent reference books relating to the different species of roses, their care, cultivation and propagation. The Rose Society of Western Australia is affiliated to other Rose Societies in Australia and around the world, and publications from these Societies are available to members for borrowing through the library. It is requested that the books, journals, tapes, etc., which are borrowed be returned at the following meeting for use by other members.
