"ROSE PRUNING"
by OUR CR'S
The January meeting will be a great Hands On demo for getting the
scoop on Pruning your Roses. Our CR's will be on hand to show you the
correct way to do your Rose Pruning. If you wish you can bring some of
your own Roses to practice on.
If you have potted plants that you would like to bring, we can use
them as examples. Also, if you are planning to remove bushes, dig them up
the day before, hose off the roots and wrap them in moist newspaper. Bring
them to the meeting for the pruning demonstration and then we will put
them in the drawing for other Rosarians to win and enjoy!
This is one of the most popular programs of the year. Bring anyone who
has pruning questions and you will leave this program more confident and
ready to prune YOUR
Roses.
The program will be followed by snacks and
conversation in the Garden Club Room.
For additional information please call Carrie at
