协会概况
De Rozenkring Exclusief 是比利时历史最悠久的玫瑰爱好者协会之一, 总部设于弗拉芒大区, 面向业余爱好者与专业种植者开放, 日常以荷兰语为主、配合法语、英语、德语、意大利语五种语言呈现网站内容。会刊《Rozenkring》自创会起按季出版, 由全比会员与赞助商共同支撑; 按 2026 年赞助册标注的 “jaargang 30” 推算, 协会可追溯至 1997 年。
宗旨与活动
协会的工作围绕推广”玫瑰皇后”展开: 一方面向会员普及从修剪、施肥到病虫害防治的实用知识 (协会设 “De Tuinman” 专栏长期发布), 另一方面通过出版杂志、组织户外参观与同业交流, 帮助会员拓宽视野。园艺层面的内容覆盖四季 To-Do、铁线莲与攀缘玫瑰的组合栽培、菌根 (Mycorrhiza) 在月季栽种中的作用以及瓢虫塔等生态防虫话题, 紧扣欧洲温带气候下的实际养护节奏。
国际参与
协会长期参与多项国际与跨境玫瑰评审, 包括 Excellence Roses (荷兰-比利时联合评选, 至 2024 年已有 88 个认证品种) 与德国 ADR-Rozen 通用玫瑰测试, 并持续介绍德国 “Roos van het jaar” 年度玫瑰与 Kordes 旗下 Parfuma 香水玫瑰系列。每年协会还组织会员赴 Badén-Baden (德国)、Kortrijk (比利时库特赖) 与 Le Roeulx (比利时) 三处著名玫瑰竞赛观赛, 是会员接触国际新优品种的重要渠道。
赞助与运营
协会运营依赖一个以企业赞助为主、个人会费为辅的双层结构。会刊 2026 年标注的首席赞助商 (Hoofdsponsors) 包括 Kordes Rozen、Roses Forever、DCM De Ceuster Meststoffen、Genker Plantencentrum 与 Meilland International 等多家欧洲老牌月季育种商与园艺资材商; 2027 年个人会员费为比利时境内 32 欧元、海外 35 欧元, 11 月 1 日前续费可获赠当年第 4 期会刊作为入会礼。
组织与联络
日常工作由主席 Oyen Michel 统筹, Frans De Groof 与 Christiane 负责展览与媒体事务。协会另设内部会员专区 (E-service) 用于登录查阅会刊与活动报名, 日常咨询问题一般通过官方网页表单回复。协会本身不公布具体街道地址, 联络以上述网页为准; 同时与法国 La Feuillerie 植物节 (1949 年起、每年 9 月在士兰的 Celles 举办) 等欧洲同业活动保持长期协作。
Overview
De Rozenkring Exclusief is one of the oldest rose societies in Belgium, headquartered in the Flemish Region and welcoming amateur and professional members alike; the interface is offered in Dutch, French, English, German, and Italian. The quarterly magazine “Rozenkring” has been published since the society was founded; the 2026 sponsor volume is labelled “jaargang 30” (year 30), which points to a 1997 starting year.
Aims and Activities
The society works to spread practical rose knowledge and broaden members’ view of the hobby. The “De Tuinman” column publishes seasonal to-do lists, while the magazine and field trips cover pruning, feeding, disease and pest control, mycorrhiza in rose beds, ladybird towers as biological control, and the pairing of clematis with climbing roses, all tuned to the temperate European climate.
International Engagement
Members keep in touch with international rose breeding through a steady stream of evaluation programmes: the Dutch-Belgian Excellence Roses label (88 certified varieties by 2024), the German ADR-Rozen general rose trials, Germany’s “Roos van het jaar” each year, and Kordes’ Parfuma fragrant-rose collection. The society also organises group visits to the rose competitions at Baden-Baden (Germany), Kortrijk and Le Roeulx (both Belgium), where new introductions are shown side by side.
Sponsorship and Operations
Operations rest on a mix of company sponsorship and individual membership fees. The 2026 sponsor volume lists Kordes Rozen, Roses Forever, DCM De Ceuster Meststoffen, Genker Plantencentrum and Meilland International as principal (Hoofdsponsors) partners, alongside other supporters. Individual membership for 2027 is set at 32 euro for Belgium and 35 euro for members abroad; members who renew before 1 November receive the year’s fourth issue as a welcome gift.
Organisation and Contact
Day-to-day coordination is led by chairman Oyen Michel, with Frans De Groof and Christiane handling exhibitions and media. An internal E-service login lets members access magazine back-issues and register for activities. The society itself does not publish a street address; contact is through the website. It also keeps long-standing ties with neighbouring European plant events such as the Plantenfeest at La Feuillerie in Celles (Tournai), which has run every September since 1949.
