American Rose Center Trial Ground Winners

The American Rose Society (ARS) provides an amateur hybridizer rose test garden at the American Rose Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Bush roses are grown for two years and climbers for three years and given the same care as the other roses at the American Rose Center.

The roses are judged by a panel of judges at least once a month from April through October of each year using All-American Rose Selection (AARS) Test Score sheets.

The best roses are awarded gold, silver, or bronze certificates.

This page lists all of the certificate winners from the first one in 1979 to the most recent.
