Golden Rose Award

Not to be confused with Rose d'Or.

The Golden Rose Award, one of America’s oldest literary prizes, was inaugurated in 1919. The rose was modeled after the Gold Rose which is now in the Cluny Museum in Paris. The New England Poetry Club awards the Rose annually for American poetry.
