AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY
The “Save the Rambler” Initiative
The American Rose Society (ARS) has a collection of more than 300 rambler varieties at America’s Rose Garden, the largest collection of rambler roses in the U.S. and one of the largest collections in the world. It has undertaken a program to preserve and grow rambler roses throughout the United States.
The ARS recognizes the significance of these historic roses, the original climbing roses that were grown in great gardens of the world. Many varieties in the ARS collection are one of kind in the U.S. and not available to gardeners or botanical gardens today. ARS President, Diane Sommers, stated, “the ARS goal is to change that through partnerships with retail nurseries who will propagate and sell ramblers, and public gardens that will display rambler roses for public enjoyment and education.
This program aligns with the American Rose Society mission to promote the culture, preservation and appreciation of the Rose, and to improve its standard of excellence for all people through education and research.”
