The Houston Rose Society's Lending Library
by Maria Trevino, Librarian
One of the many benefits of joining the Houston Rose Society is that you gain access to the huge selection of books and videotapes in our lending library. The HRS has over one hundred and fifty books and video tapes in its library. These books are brought to each meeting (held at 7:30 pm on the second Thursday of each month at the Garden Center at Hermann Park) and members may check them out for one month (until the next meeting).
Below is an alphabetical listing of the books currently in our library. If you see something you like, come to our next meeting and check it out. Donations of additional books related to roses are always welcome!
