Gene Meyers, a Master Rosarian with the American Rose Society, will lead a hands on propagation workshop. All you need to bring is your pruners and a rose you’d like to root!
Gene has been a member of the Nashville Rose Society 30+ years. He grows Hybrid Teas, Miniatures, Minifloras, Climbing roses, Ramblers, and last but not least, his favorites, Old Garden Roses. He has been rooting roses for years and has been very successful at it. Recently he learned a trick from another rosarian that has bumped his success rate even higher. Come to the July meeting to find out what the trick is and to see demonstrations and the tools you need to be successful at rooting roses.
Before Gene’s workshop, Lisa Schaaf will share her experience with the drip irrigation system she uses in her rose garden.
