ROSES FOR THE BEGINNER ~
Rose growing will be demystified with guaranteed success. Plan
and prepare for April 1st planting. Learn about the New Generation
Roses, developed by Jackson & Perkins, which are more
prolific with ever-blooming roses and less work to maintain. All
cultivars will be evaluated. We will also discuss the new “carefree”
multi-color ever-blooming varieties, patio roses in containers, the new
heat zone map, and all stages of rose cultivation using color slides.
The instructor’s book, “Rose Growing Simplified”, and the “American Rose
Society’s Handbook for Selecting Roses” will be used as texts, and
catalogs, flyers, and pamphlets will be distributed. A prize of a rose
bush will be drawn at the completion of the class. (Instructor, Armand
