The Southampton Rose Society (SRS) is a not-for-profit organization,
founded in 1976, which is dedicated to the cultivation and
preservation of roses. It is an affiliate of the American
Rose Society. Members in the Society include rose enthusiasts,
horticulturalists, professionals, gardening hobbyists, and
individuals, who simply share a love of our national flower,
the Rose. SRS is dedicated to community service and ecological awareness and
sensitivity, and provides horticultural education programs that are centered
on rose cultivation.
In 2003 the Society created the SRS Rose Garden, located on the
grounds of the newly built Rogers Memorial Library
at 91 Coopers Farm Road in Southampton. In June of that
year, the Rose Garden was dedicated and presented as a gift
to the townspeople and Village of Southampton.
The Rose Garden is open and free to the public seven days a
week. The Garden is also available for philanthropic and
private functions. Individuals may support the Rose Garden
by purchasing engraved, memorial bricks that line the pathways
and perimeter of the Garden. All proceeds go towards the
SRS Rose Garden Endowment Fund for the maintenance of the
Garden.
The Society offers a variety of annual events including its
Pruning/Rose Care Session; Childrens' Educational Program;
Rose Show and Rose Art Competition.
