Join us for the New England Rose Society’s 85th Annual Founders Saturday, October 18, 2025
Wamsutta Club, New Bedford, MA
We are proud to welcome Teddie Mower as our keynote speaker. Over the past year, Teddie has partnered with the New England Rose Society to help save rare and endangered roses from the late Anne Belovich’s garden, which Erin from Floret Flower Farm featured on the first episode of Growing Floret's second season.
Our mission is to not only save roses that are at risk of going extinct, but to discover which of them will thrive in the Northeast and to bring home hybridized roses that were once part of New England’s history. Teddie will also share insights on the American Rose Society’s Save the Rambler project.
Event Schedule
10:00 am: Optional complimentary tour of the Glass Museum (limited spots, reserve when purchasing tickets)

This year, a handmade quilt by Kathy Tringale is being auctioned online through our website. The auction will close during Founders Day, and the winner will be announced at the event.
Celebrate our 85th year with us as we honor the past and help safeguard the roses of tomorrow.
