SPEAKERS
Carrie Bergs, American Rose Society Incoming Vice President
🌹 Program: The Uplifting Power of Roses
CARRIE BERG: Incoming Vice President of the American Rose Society
Carrie’s belief in, and appreciation for, the mission of the American Rose Society
inspired her to run for Vice President. She is excited to share her personal
skills and professional expertise as a member of the team that will ensure the
success of the ARS well into the future.
For twelve years, the American Rose Society has been an important part of
Carrie’s life. From the day she and Joe (spouse) purchased their first rose to
today, with gardens that include almost 400 roses of all varieties, Joe and Carrie are excellent
examples of what new rose growers and exhibitors can do with the support of their local rose
societies and the resources of the ARS.
