The Seattle Rose Society was started in 1913, making it the oldest horticultural society in the Seattle area. An active and enthusiastic organization, the Society has a roster of over 200 members from all over Puget Sound, the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Members have a wide variety of interests in roses, including gardening, hybridizing, arranging and exhibiting roses. The Society was instrumental in the founding of the Woodland Park Rose Garden in 1924 with the help of the Lions Club.
