'''The Noble Company of the Rose''', a dependency of The Augustan Society, Inc., exists to foster the true ideals of chivalry, and to encourage good relations with other [[Recognized Orders of Chivalry]]. Members fulfill their duties to their fellow men through an active practice of the Code of Chivalry and by individual and concerted charitable activities.
The web page for the Company is [http://augustansocietypresently offline due to a move to a new service.org/cpage.php?pt=9 here], and the web page for the The [[Rule of the Company|Charter and Rule of the Company are online here]] is [http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=41 here].
Presumed duties of the Noble Company include:
<li>Upon the vote to invite, the office of the Rose Chancellor (usually in the form of Headquarters Staff) will extend an invitation, accompanied by a petition for membership. This is normally done by mail, though in some cases email may be appropriate. The Rose Chancellor may ask Headquarters Staff to send the petition, or he may ask them to send the letter as well.</li>
<li>When the petition and payment of entry fees are received at Headquarters, Headquarters Staff will send a letter of welcome, a Certificate of Membership, a copy of the Rule of the Order, a membership card, and the appropriate insignia. They will also notify the ''Magister Rosae'', put a notice in the next Rose Council Agenda, and send notices for publication to the [[Rosarum|''Rosarum'' Editor]], [[Augustæum|''Augustæum'' Editor]], and the [[Assistant Webmaster for ENS]].</li>
</ol>
The Rose Membership Card is created and signed by Headquarters Staff. The original card is sent with the Certificate of Membership. Thereafter, as each member pays his annual oblation, a new card is made and sent with the next available mailing. Renewal cards are not sent with a cover letter, as they serve primarily as a receipt. They will generally be distributed with a regular issue of ''[[Augustæum]]''.
