Rose Tours Sponsored by
The Houston Rose Society

Every year the Houston Rose Society tries to sponsor a garden tour of the rose gardens of local members. Sometimes the tours are in the spring. Sometimes they are in the fall. All the time they are fun and educational, and one of the many benefits of belonging to the Houston Rose Society.

For further information about future tours join the Houston Rose Society and get complete directions in the Rose-Ette.
