The General Assembly of the Romanian Rose Society  was organized for the first time in Arad, by the local branch, with the support of the Eutopia Gardens Foundation.

On this occasion, Mihaela Buzatu, president of the Eutopia Gardens Foundation, presented to the 50 participants (from 5 county branches) the EutopiaGardens.org website, which at that time included a database of ornamental plants, among which over 3000 varieties of roses.

At the end of the meeting, the participants went to Eutopia Park, near Mândruloc, to see the beginnings of the rosary arrangement.
