IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC!
The Syracuse Parks & Rec Department has scheduled a paver project this summer for the Mills Rose Garden. For the safety of the public, there will be no access to the Mills Garden. We will not be hosting our annual Rose Day this year.
Please contact the Syracuse Parks & Rec Department for further information.
The 2026 SRS Rose Show
The 102nd Annual Rose Show was a success in many ways! We appreciate all the SRS members who stepped up to help. But a big thank you goes to Co-Chairs Pat Pohl, Sue Kamp, President Martha Roman and the many members who served as judges.
This year's Best in Show was awarded to the rose Dublin, nurtured by our own Dottie White. Congratulations Dottie!
