Meetings of the Rose Council must have a quorum of not less than one half the number of offices authorized. With six officers, three would constitute a quorum. Members may give proxy to other members of the Rose Council, provided that written notice is received at Headquarters before the called time of the meeting.
At least one meeting of the Council shall be held each year. It is further expected that such meetings will not be more than 365 days apart, suggesting that some years might have more than one meeting.
