Atlantia

The Ladies of the Order of the Rose invite you all to witness a day filled with pageantry and more.  On April 18, 2015, shall men and women sight targets with keen eyes and take up arms, not for prowess or vainglory but to pay tribute to ideals held dear by the Order of the Rose. Teams are selected in order to display to the Kingdom those people that the Roses find inspiring and worthy of recognition. Are you possessed of the spirit of Joie de Vivre - that effervescent love and joy of life? Or are you Inspiration, possessed with the ability not only to do or create, but also to encourage those around you to do the same? Perhaps it is Charity, the selfless assistance to others without thought to one\'s own condition or advancement.
