Birmingham Rose Society

Birmingham Rose Society Check us out on the web at: www.birminghamrose.org The first Rose Show was held in Vestavia in 1952. Since then, a Rose Show has been sponsored each year.

The Birmingham Rose Society is dedicated to promoting the cultivation, appreciation, and preservation of roses through education, exhibitions, and community engagement. On March 3, 1950 a group of fourteen men, all enthusiastic Rose Hobbyists, met at the Central Library and organized the Men’s Rose Society of Birmingham. In 1955, the organization was changed. Ladies and anyone interested in growin

g roses, were made eligible for membership. At that time the name was changed to The Birmingham Rose Society. We are members of the Deep South District of the American Rose Society. We have been privileged to host the District Rose show in Birmingham in 1959, May of 1989 and again in October 2008.

This year, instead of selling leftover roses from the Birmingham Rose Show, we decided to try something different… we gave them away.

Visitors strolling through the gardens were suddenly handed cups filled with beautiful roses along with an invitation to visit the show and learn more about the society. The reaction was unforgettable.

Smiles. Shock. Joy. Complete disbelief that these gorgeous roses were simply a gift for them.

What started as a small gesture turned into one of the sweetest moments of the weekend. It reminded us that flowers have a special way of connecting people and that sometimes the simplest acts of kindness leave the biggest impression.

A special thank you to Richard Gunn and Jeffrey Carter for volunteering their time and helping make this effort such a wonderful success. Your generosity and enthusiasm helped spread so much joy throughout the day.

We hope those roses brightened homes, started conversations, and maybe even inspired a few future rosarians.

The Birmingham Rose Show would not be possible without the incredible volunteers who give their time, talents, energy, and heart each year.

From setting up tables and processing entries to clerking, judging support, hospitality, photography, cleanup, and everything in between, this show is truly a labor of love. Because of you, we welcomed more than 300 horticulture and arrangement entries along with nearly 70 photography entries this weekend.

Thank you for helping keep this special Mother’s Day tradition alive in Birmingham for another year. Your dedication, friendship, and hard work created a beautiful experience for exhibitors and hundreds of visitors.

We are deeply grateful for each and every one of you.
