We prove basic theorems about the ground states of the S=1 Bose-Hubbard model. The results are quite universal and depend only on the coefficient U2 of the spin-dependent interaction. We show that the ground state exhibits saturated ferromagnetism if U2<0, is spin-singlet if U2>0, and exhibits "SU(3)-ferromagnetism" if U2=0, and completely determine the degeneracy in each region.
