Are you a "rose nut" of long standing, or just catching the bug?
We'd love to have you in our society!
This organization is here to inform and excite you
as you journey into the world of the Heritage Rose.

What is a Heritage Rose?

Heritage roses are those roses hybridized primarily in England and France before 1867 (also known as Old Garden Roses or OGRs), roses hybridized or naturally pollinated by OGR parents (these include Austin's English roses), and finally, roses hybridized in the first half of the twentieth century.

The OGRs include albas, bourbons, centifolias, damasks, gallicas, mosses, hybrid perpetuals, chinas, teas, and noisettes, as well as species roses. Many hybrids have been developed from these roses, not least the hybrid musks, hybrid teas, polyanthas, and floribundas. In addition, there are climbers and ramblers descended from the long, wiry canes of species roses like r. multiflora, r. bracteata, r. wichurana and r. gigantea.
