Heritage Rose Society of SA (HRSSA)
The Heritage Rose Society of South Africa was founded in Addo, Eastern Cape in 1989. It aims to promote the conservation of Old Garden Roses and Species roses in South Africa, particularly those imported by early settlers from the 17th Century onwards. Though the initial meeting was held in the Eastern Cape, the society is a national one with no regional base. Regional representatives, generally linked to other rose societies, provide opportunities for face to face contact while regular Newsletters serve to keep members up to speed and entertained.

The Western Cape Rose Society (WCRS) was the first Provincial Society formed in 1969 by Willie Staegeman and Sid Cywes, who became the first chairman and vice chairman respectively, and a number of other well-known local rosarians as committee members. Subsequently the WCRS negotiated with the then Transvaal ROSA for the establishment of an umbrella organisation of rose societies which became the Federation of rose societies ROSA in 1970. Many well known rose growers joined the WCRS, among them Duncan Henderson, the Lindners, Bill Horwood and several others. At the WCRS we work together to make our cause known; to reach out to other groups who share our vision. Whether youre ready to lend a hand at one of our rose activities or have photos or articles to share about a recent event, this is the place to do it.
We welcome the addition of all new members, so if you are keen to get involved or just have a passion for roses please don’t hesitate to join our group.
