Our City of Roses
In the 1920s when Broken Arrow was first called The City of Roses, a local newspaper reported that almost every home “humble or aristocratic “ had a rose garden. Plant a Rose, a Rose Committee Event, encourages Broken Arrow homes & businesses to return to this beautiful part of our history.

Honor a Veteran, Honor a Loved One
A Keep Broken Arrow Beautiful Facebook Event
Choose a rose to plant, plant it and take a picture.
Post picture on our Facebook Page: Keep Broken Arrow Beautiful. Tell us who you are honoring. If it’s a Veteran include the Branch of Service, where they served, and anything else you’d like to say.
This event ends on Memorial Day, May 31st, 2022.
A drawing will be held from the entries (this is not a photography contest). Winners receive rose bushes donated by Riddle Plant Farm & Sanders Nursery.
