With these aims in mind the Society hosts a variety of competitions, exhibitions, talks and provides information to assist members and the public with the growing and care of their roses.

The World Federation of Rose Societies

The World Federation of Rose Societies (WFRS) was founded in 1968 in London, England by representatives from the rose societies of Australia, Belgium, Israel, New Zealand, Romania, South Africa, Great Britain and the United States of America.

Corporate Roses

Corporate Roses has evolved from a wholesale rose grower, to retail mail order nursery and now finally, focused on the trialing, testing and releasing roses from the world famous rose breeding firm – Meilland International to Australian gardeners.

Though not a grower and seller of roses to the public or trade, Corporate Roses has a national network of dedicated rose growers producing a wide range of Meilland new and not so new introductions.
These growers supply and distribute to a range of retail outlets – large hardware chains, independent gardens centres and, in many instances, directly from their own specialist nursery. See our Stockist Page for more information.

From quarantine to the trialing beds, Kim Syrus, Corporate Roses Managing Director, oversees the process of selecting roses suited for Australian gardens.
