Meeting in the Rose Society Display Garden

Meeting in the Garden

Take time to smell the roses.

Learn about fertilizers, chemical and organic, from experienced gardeners in a well-established garden.

The Monterey Bay Rose Society is holding its monthly meeting at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 14 in the Display Garden at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. The meeting is open to the public and will conclude with a potluck luncheon.

Here's a great way to discover roses you may fall in love with AND grow well here with few problems AND often smell delicious.

With the late winter we've had, we can't promise a garden full of blossoms but there will definitely be some to admire and enjoy.

Consulting rosarians will be on hand to help you with your rose questions. Bring in your unnamed flowers and we might be able to tell you what they are.

For the potluck, please bring your favorite dish to share and RSVP to Janey Leonardich at 831-722-7958 or sweeete940@gmail.com by Wednesday, April 11, so we know how many to prepare for.
