The Indianapolis Rose Society is affiliated with the American Rose Society and the Illinois/Indiana District. We are a group of amateur rose growers with varied levels of experience.
WORKSHOPS, GARDEN PARTIES AND EVENTS
We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 in the evening at the Sullivan Munce building in charming downtown Zionsville! That is except for special events and they are usually on the weekend.
Our time together ranges from member garden parties, wine and roses parties and tours (always popular as there are some amazing gardens) to workshops on rose pests and diseases, general rose care, as well as recommendations for growing roses in our region! It is amazing how much we learn from the experts we bring in and from our local members! There’s always fun, food and prizes involved too.
The last couple of years we have added the Zoom virtual meeting option.

Thank you!
To IRS,
I’m trying to locate a Jennifer Rose shrub to honor a recently departed friend. Can you help? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
I live in Hamilton County and I am interested in joining the local rose society. Please let me know a location near me where the society meets regularly. Thank you.

Hello Martha,
Nice to meet you. The closest rose society to you is the Indianapolis Rose Society. Several of our members comes from the north side of Indianapolis. Our regular meetings have been at the Sullivan Munce Center in Zionsville for several years, however, this year we have not been meeting due to Covid but hope to start again in the spring whether virtually or in person. Once you place membership, you will start receiving our newsletter to help you to know when things will happen. You can also follow us on Instagram and Facebook. Hope to meet you in person soon.
