The rose sale was first conducted in 1986 with Carl Stubenvoll serving as
chairman. Price at $12 per dozen,
475 dozen roses were sold that year. Today the
rose sale is a major fundraiser for Ripon Rotary.These are
choice long-stem roses, coming in several colors, each dozen of the
same color. To avoid infringing upon florists'
traditional sales on holidays
such as Valentines Day, delivery is scheduled for a date near mid-March each
year.
