Meet in Mills Garden July 9; Learn to Propagate Roses
 



July 9 is the date of our annual meeting in the Mills Garden in Thornden Park. The garden has been spectacular this year, and you won't want to miss a chance to see the gorgeous colors and your favorite rose. In case of rain, the meeting will move to a shelter in the park.

The program will begin an hour earlier than usual at 6:30 p.m., and we’ll forgo the usual refreshments at the end so as to enjoy the roses before dusk. The program is entitled "How to Start New Roses for Free" by SRS member Dave Stever.

Dave says "Anyone can do it, and I will show them how to propagate new roses for pennies.” Dave has received the ARS Bronze Medal for service to our society. Last year he was named an Outstanding Consulting Rosarian by the New York State District Rose Society.

You probably have seen Dave’s roses on show tables and the Court of Honor in our recent rose shows. He prides himself on being a generalist exhibitor and says, "I am not goal -directed to win Queen of the Show, but I like to do well with my entries." Most of us know Dave for his Green Rose cultivar entries year after year - and he wins

Plan on attending this informal meeting at the Mills Garden, learn from Dave Stever, and ask your questions during Q and A led by Barb Blanchard. Come a half -hour earlier ( 6 p.m.) to browse a few garage sale items which arrived too late for last month’s sale to benefit the upcoming District Convention here in September. _
