Since we are unable to hold an actual rose show this year, we are encouraging everyone to have some fun, take photos of your roses, and enter in our first virtual rose show open to all members of the Nashville Rose Society. This is not an ARS sanctioned rose show. NRS virtual certificates will be awarded.
