The Pacific Northwest Rose Hybridizer's Group is a speciality organization that was founded in 1993 to foster local interest and activity in rose breeding or hybridizing. The objective of the group is to bring together people with common interests and/or experience in hybridizing roses. We have several members in the Pacific Northwest, as well as other parts of the US and Canada.  Local meeting are fun and educational. They are held 5 times per year in the Puget Sound region. An informative newsletter useful for the novice as well as the more advanced is published and mailed out to members 5 times per year.
