With the aim of encouraging all activities concerning knowledge and love of roses, Mr. Georges van Oost founded the Society in 1926.

Special events, organised visits to rose gardens and lectures are all communicated to our members via our Newsletters. Members also receive one publication a year, called Rosa Belgica, with many articles and information concerning the Rose.

The Society supports rose trials and all other events concerning the Rose. We were one of the founding members of the World Federation of Rose Societies.

Both professional rosarians and amateurs are members of the Society.
