Major Activities

Major activities are intended to spread easier cultivation technique to increase armature rose cultivators. We are proud of recent increase in number of members, not only from local Oyama area but also from the northern part of Tochigi Prefecture such as from Ustunomiya.

Efforts are paid to hold as many meetings as possible to give the members chances to meet together and to exchange their experiences. Approximately 10 meetings are held a year including lectures, training sessions, annual meeting, preparation meetings for the exhibitions and etc. The meeting places are usually meeting rooms in Oyama City Hall where both rail and car access is convenient.

The biggest events of this Society are the Spring and Autumn Rose Shows. The place of the exhibitions has been changed to the "OMOIGAWA Parking Area on the Route 50. More visitors are expected due to convenience of the site. Other activities such as tours, publication of News Letters, Open Garden (for members only), distribution of papers, joint seedling purchase and etc. are also important for us.
