At the inception of the Society, the main problem was of non availability of good quality rose plants and roses. An electrical engineer by profession Late MR. N.A.JOSHI,who was also a founder member and past president of our Society, out of his love about roses invented a method for propagation of roses, which is now popularly known as “N.A. JOSHI POLYBAG METHOD”. The method has become popular. This method converted the backbreaking task of budding into an indoor activity which like a conveyor based assembly line which could easily produce thousands of budded plants in a day by just a team of three or four skilled workers. This ingenious method of propagation of roses almost like a industry has started the modern rose revolution. Millions of rose plants are supplied to rosarians from distant lands from over four hundred rose plant nurseries in and around Pune. For the invention of this ingenious method which started a revolution as a rose production industry he was honoured by the Maratha Chamber of Commerce and Industries by presenting him the prestigious Parkhe Award.for an Innovative idea He the first Indian rosarian who was honoured to be a judge by American Rose Society Rose Show and was invited for the same in the year 1985. Now our society is giving trophy in the memory of this great rosarian in the Winter Rose Show every year to the best roses of the variety Black Lady or Double Delight. Another trophy has been instituted by the society since Monsoon Rose Show 2010 in the memory of Late MR. N.A. JOSHI for the best rose in the show, ‘King of the Show Trophy ’. The rose society is proud of the great rosarian.
