About Us

CONGRATULATIONS TO MARY VAN VLACK FOR RECEIVING THE AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY TOP AWARD FOR OUR ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER! As a member of the Mesa East Valley Rose Society (MEVRS) you will receive this award-winning newsletter monthly that has great information on how to care for your roses, articles that help you understand growing roses in Arizona plus many bits of information on meetings and programs that you can attend.

MEVRS members are fun, generous people from all walks of life who share a love for roses. We’ve been having fun with roses since 1953. Our members have all levels of experience with roses. We assist and encourage the cultivation of roses here in Arizona. We’re an affiliate of The American Rose Society.

Everyone is welcome to join our group to learn more about growing and taking care of your roses.
