Organisation Profile and History
The Nederlandse Rozenvereniging (NR, Dutch Rose Society) was founded in 1966 as a national society for rose enthusiasts in the Netherlands, with members including amateur gardeners, growers, breeders, botanists and public-garden institutions. The society publishes the Rozenbulletin quarterly, organises domestic and international excursions, runs an annual international rose judging session and connects with sister societies abroad. It is a member of the World Federation of Rose Societies (WFRS). The society has around 350 members and is run entirely by volunteers. Membership costs €30 per year (€35 for members abroad).
Board and Governance
The current board was elected at the 2025 Annual General Meeting and comprises five members: Willem Jan Pepping (chair, foreign and domestic representation, Rozenbulletin editorial board), Gerard Eppink (excursions), Cees Tromp (treasurer), Margot Haakman (secretary, member administration), Simon Duin (vice-chair, public relations). Standing committees include the foreign excursions committee, the domestic excursions committee, the PR committee and the Rozenbulletin editorial committee (seven editors led by editor-in-chief Kitty Karis). Statutes and house rules are available on request from the secretary.
Core Activity: Rozenbulletin and Annual Programme
Rozenbulletin is the quarterly magazine of the society, published in January, April, July and October. It is only available to members, never sold in bookshops or kiosks. Each issue contains cultivar profiles, breeder and grower interviews, expert cultivation advice, reports from European rose societies and garden visits. The current issue is number 214 (January 2026); the deadline for issue 218 (January 2027) is 4 December 2026. Content is produced by volunteer editors; advertising revenue is an important source of income. In 2025 the society organised four domestic excursions (Weesp, Achterhoek, Friesland, Hoeksewaard) and one international excursion to Paris and surroundings.
Member Services and Dutch Rose Gardens
Members receive the quarterly magazine, free participation in excursions and meetings, access to the society’s directory of Dutch rose gardens and growers, and the right to consult the secretary on rose cultivation questions. The society maintains detailed guides to nine major Dutch rose gardens with on-site photography: Westbroekpark international rose garden in The Hague (350 beds, about 25,000 roses, blooming late June to October, hosts annual international rose competition with gold/silver/bronze certificates); Stadspark rose garden in Winschoten (1.6 ha, 320 cultivars 20,000 roses, in the world’s largest rose rootstock production area); Guldemondplantsoen rose garden in Boskoop (1.5 ha, 160 cultivars 2,600 roses); Wilhelminapark rose garden in Utrecht (founded 1913 by Nos Jungunt Rosae, the first public rose garden in the Netherlands); Rozendorp Lottum in Limburg (70% of Dutch rose production); Vondelpark rose garden in Amsterdam (63 hexagonal beds, first laid out 1936); the Auguste Victoria rose garden at Museum Huis Doorn (designed 1903 by Hugo A.C.
