Rose Fest
A Great Way to Learn about Growing Roses
Saturday April 30, 2022
If you would like to learn more about how to plant, prune and care for roses, the RI Society’s Rose Fest, hosted by Wildwood Nurseries, is the perfect event. In addition to a schedule of talks and demonstrations by American Rose Society Consulting Rosarians, Mike and I will be presenting “Six Steps for Successful Rose Gardening at 11:15 AM.
This program explains everything you need to know in six easy-to-follow steps that take the mystery out of rose gardening. It also includes suggestions on sustainable rose varieties that are winter hardy, disease resistant and will thrive without the use of pesticides. We will have our books, Roses for New England: A Guide to Sustainable Rose Gardening and Rose Gardening Season by Season: A Journal for Passionate Gardeners available to sell and sign.
If you live nearby, this is a good opportunity to come to Rose Fest on Saturday, April 30 at Wildwood Nurseries, 659 Frenchtown Road, East Greenwich, RI. The schedule of events is posted below. You can also become a RI Rose Society member and receive a 10% discount at Wildwood.
Hope to see you there.
The Rose Journal 
This is unrelated to your post but I am still wondering why they put rose bushes on sticks in classic french gardens , this has greatly mystified me.
What do you mean by ‘sticks?’
