Aw, Yez, Marc,
I even started a local chapter. We planted a Garden at the local hospital, now gone as they needed the room to expand. Just read some interesting News on the American Rose Society that the AARS selections are being discontinued but will be replaced with another smaller program.

The American Rose Society was started by several growers in the 1930's because of unscrupulous growers that sold roses by different names or were poor performers. After that the AARS Selections were started so the public had a better chance of getting a good plant.
