A.R.T.S.® showcased multiple years the American Society of Horticulture Science Annual Conference
The American Society for Horticulture Science (ASHS) is the premier horticultural scientific organization in North America and links together research scientists, industry, Extension specialists, and educators. Several hundred participants come to the annual conferences to present their research, network, and learn about the cutting edge in horticulture.
We are pleased that our poster proposals highlighting the latest winning roses and program updates have routinely been accepted for us to present the research. Being able to present our posters helped to expand our recognition among industry, Extension specialists, public garden professionals, and Master Gardener coordinators/groups. This conference connected us with great horticultural professionals that now partner with us hosting A.R.T.S.® trial sites in their regions. The conferences are typically in July and at them we present the following year’s winning roses with summarized performance data on the winning roses and the control cultivars they are compared with.
