by

David Cannistraro, past President of the New England Rose Society, will discuss a selection of rose types, and how to properly plant them, prune them through the growing season, and protect them in winter, on Thursday, May 19 at 7 pm in the Parkman Room of the Education Building at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street in Wellesley. He’ll also review best methods to deadhead and fertilize, and include a comparison of natural and over-the-counter sprays.

A fun program to make rose growing easy, this program will be hands-on with potted rose demonstrations. Mass Hort members $12, nonmembers $20 – register online at www.masshort.org.

Also, current President of the NE Rose Society Teresa Mosher will be selling and signing her book, A Year in My Rose Garden.
