Workshops on Winter Pruning of Roses
Rose Garden on
9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Gardeners from the Parks Department will teach residents how to winter-prune roses and prepare their own rose bushes for maximum color this spring. Following hands-on demonstrations, participants will spend the remainder of the session practicing winter-pruning techniques on the Hybrid Tea, Grandiflora, Climbing and Floribunda roses within the garden. Participants are asked to bring their own bypass hand pruner, gloves and a beverage. Those attending are advised to wear long-sleeve clothing to protect themselves from thorns. The Memorial Rose Garden is wheelchair accessible. In the event of extreme weather conditions, the workshop will be re-scheduled for a later date.
Contact the Parks and Recreation office at 485-3200 by no later than Tuesday, Feb. 5 for reservations; space is limited.
