Benefits of American Rose Society Membership and The Great Garden Restoration at the American Rose Center in Shreveport, LA

American Rose Society

Join the Potomac Rose Society as we welcome  American Rose Society Executive Director Jon Corkern. In this two-part presentation, Jon will first review the many benefits that the ARS provides to individual members as well as to local societies such as PRS. Secondly, he will update us on the long awaited completion of the Great Garden Restoration project at the American Rose Center in Shreveport, La. and how it benefits the American Rose Society. The ARS is based in Shreveport, and is the parent organization of PRS. 

We first learned about the Great Garden Restoration project from then ARS Regional Director and current PRS Board member Ray Shipley in March of 2019. Since then, the 118 acre property has expanded to include over 20,000 plants, a visitor center and reflecting pool, in America's largest park dedicated to roses.

This program is FREE and open to the public. You must register to receive Zoom link. Zoom link will be included in reminder email. Reminder email will arrive a few days before the event and on event day at 2pm.PRS members will have access to the recording on our website in the Members-Only video library.
