The [[Noble Company of the Rose]], a dependency of The Augustan Society, Inc., normally theoretically meets "in chapter" once per year at the call of the ''[[Magister Rosae]]''. These meetings have traditionally be were held in person, and at the [[Chapel of the Rose]] when such existshas existed.
Attendance at '''Meetings in Chapter''' are intended to include all members of the Noble Company. Knights, Dames, and Esquires are welcomed, as are Honorary Knights, Honorary Dames, and Associates.
Election of the ''Magister Rosae'' requires a majority of the votes cast. As a result, multiple ballots may be required. All ballots and records of vote counts are to be destroyed immediately following the meeting.
Should there be no Meeting in Chapter announced by 30 April of each year, or if the meeting fails obtain a quorum, or if they should fail to elect a ''Magister Rosae'', then the [[Rose Administrator Assistant Chancellor]] will conduct an election by mail in the manner or recent years. It is recommended that such meetings be called between October (Rose Day) and the end of April so that the Noble Company's ballots may share a mailing with the Society's ballots.
The new ''Magister Rosae'' will be installed immediately following his confirmation by the [[Board]], unless the previous ''Magister Rosae'' or Lieutenant ''Magister Rosae'' is elected, in which case confirmation may be presumed and they are installed immediately.
