Members of the Tenarky District and the Nashville Rose Society are working hard on the 2026 ARS National Convention & Rose Show, hosted by the Nashville Rose Society, to be held October 2-5, 2026. The Convention and Rose Show will be held at the Sheraton Music City Nashville Airport Hotel which is conveniently located to the airport, downtown Nashville, and Opryland. Hotel information can be found at MedleyOfRoses.org/hotel.
The Rose Show will be held Saturday morning and will be open to the public on Saturday afternoon. On Monday, we will have a bus tour that even some of us locals may want to participate in. The schedule for the weekend can be found at MedleyOfRoses.org/schedule. The Rose Show schedule will be published soon.
We have well renowned international and national speakers on both Saturday and Sunday. For the full list of speakers, their bio and a description of their talk, visit MedleyOfRoses.org/speakers.
We do need your generosity to guarantee a successful Convention and Rose Show.
