​Charles Anctil 
Wine & Roses... Honorary Chair
► Back to Rose Show Information

It is with heartfelt appreciation that the Kansas City Rose Society is pleased to dedicate the 86th annual Rose Show to honor Charles Anctil’s lifelong commitment to the rose and the rose enthusiasts in northwest Missouri. 

We are lucky to have in our midst a rose enthusiast who has been dedicated to all
aspects of the growing, showing and educating about the rose since 1958. Charlie Anctil,
our beloved rosarian, has helped generations of us grow and appreciate roses. He not only
grows 139 himself, but he has worked at nurseries in St. Joseph, Missouri since 1963
selling roses and teaching about rose care. Moffett Nursery, where he currently works, has
over 1,600 roses for local growers to choose from.

He has been a Master Consulting Rosarian and Judge Emeritus since 2010. Charlie has
judged over 200 rose shows throughout the Midwest. His awards include the ARS Silver
and Bronze medals.

Here are some thought about Charlie from friends and fellow rose growers:

  • Moffett nursery customers say,
    “Charlie is the best rose man in town.”

  • Sandy Campuzano, past rose show blue-ribbon winner poetically says,
    “Charlie knows it all, first one I call.”

  • “Chuck is dedicated to roses and he shares his love with others. He works with roses all day at the nursery, and also grows them at home. He was president of the Clay County Rose Society for three terms. His meetings were interesting, and he always made us laugh.”   – Donna Kitterman, longtime friend and extraordinary rose exhibitor.

  • “For nearly two decades, Charlie Anctil has generously shared his rose expertise in the pages of our magazine. The gardening community is better educated due to his efforts, and we are forever grateful.”​  – Elizabeth Cavanaugh, Editor, The Kansas City Gardener.​
