MARILYN WELLAN AWARDED THE COVETED AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY GOLD HONOR MEDAL
At the recent American Rose Society’s convention at Gettysburg, PA, Marilyn Wellan was awarded its highest award for national service to the Rose and the Society – the Gold Honor Medal. The award was presented by ARS President Pat Shanley and ARS Executive Director Laura Seabaugh.
Marilyn Wellan has been an active member of the Society since 1984, is a Life Member and Master Rosarian. She was elected national Vice President from 2000-2003, and national President from 2003-2006. She served her local Society as President, was a member of the ARS Board for 15 years, and continues to serve the Board as a Past President.
She was previously awarded her Society’s Bronze Honor Medal and the Gulf District Silver Honor Medal; she was named ‘Great Rosarian of the World’ in 2009. Her service included many innovative programs including ‘Year of the Rose,’ ‘Rose Day America’, and ‘ARS Members’ Choice Rose of the Year.’ She has held many positions in leadership on national committees and endowments, is a speaker, writer, horticulture and arrangements instructor and judge, and a certified Consulting Rosarian.
Wellan’s current area of interest is in coordinating the ‘Great Garden Restoration Project’ for the Gardens of the American Rose Center at Shreveport, La. The five-year Master Plan is underway, and is expected to be completed by 2022, the year of the Gardens’ 50th Anniversary in Shreveport, and the 130th Anniversary of the Society’s founding.
Wellan designed her own garden of over 200 roses at Alexandria, La where she resides with her husband of 40 years, Myron Wellan.
