Third Place Website Winner!

at the Marin County Fair
The fourth local rose society on the web!

With a climate moderated by water on three sides from the Pacific Ocean and The San Francisco Bay, an average summer temperature of 85 degrees and a winter temperature rarely below freezing, a range of elevation from sea level to 2571 feet, and a natural abundance of wildlife and oak and redwood trees, Marin County is an ideal place in which to live and grow roses.

Marin Rose Society was founded with only a few members in 1974 by Joseph and Marion Klima, who were also distinguished as one of only two couples who had each been awarded the American Rose Society Gold Medal. Joseph Klima was also the American Rose Society's "President Emeritus". Today, the Marin Rose Society has 126 members.

Our goals are to promote the culture, interest and appreciation of roses of all kinds; and to educate gardeners of Marin County on rose nomenclature, rose types (classifications) and their uses, propagation, maintenance, and exhibiting techniques.
