Organized in 1969 by thirteen members, the Rose Hybridizers Association has grown to an organization of about 200 members in over 20 countries. RHA members have introduced more than 500 new roses to the commercial market and in 1996, one of our members was awarded the coveted All-American Rose Selection for his rose, St. Patrick.
