Join us for this historic event, as the American Rose Society holds its National Convention and Rose Show in Los Angeles, California for the first time in over half a century. The American Rose Society is an American institution, celebrating 118 years as an educational and community service 501(c)(3) organization, having over 350 affiliated and chapter societies spread across the United States.
The ARS 2011 Fall Convention and Rose Show will be held at the regal Hilton Universal, in Universal City, Thursday - Sunday, October 13-16, 2011. The convention schedule includes a full day of entertaining and informative lectures by rose experts, Garden Tours and sightseeing tours around Los Angeles, two sumptuous buffet Awards Banquets at the Hilton Universal, as well as the ARS National Rose Show, which will feature exquisite rose blooms and arrangements exhibited in an evening competition to rival any glamorous Hollywood event!
The local host society is the Los Angeles Tinseltown Rose Society, which has been a community organization since 1964. Convention attendees are expected from across the United States, as well as a large international contingent, who are looking forward to this rare opportunity to attend an ARS convention in such an ideal location as Los Angeles, which offers infinite sightseeing possibilities in addition to the convention.
This convention has been years in the planning, and the members of the Los Angeles Tinseltown Rose Society wish to welcome one and all, rose expert and novice, to attend this very special event!
It’s A Wrap!
What a ride! As the Convention Chair for this event, this has been a mental, physical, and certainly, an emotional journey these past two years since the inception of this adventure. It has tested me personally, and has tested the fortitude and resilience of our Convention “Stage Crew, ” and the Los Angeles Tinseltown Rose Society members - but as a result, we've come through a stronger group! As we wrap up and move forward, it has been great to hear from the Convention attendees, and I want to share those correspondences with everyone. - Marcia Sanchez-Walsh
