Free seminar on roses in the garden
Everything's Coming Up Roses
February 21, 2009 10am-Noon Sunset Valley City Hall 3205 Jones Rd. Sunset Valley, TX 78745 Roses aren't just for Valentine's Day - they can bring color and sweet smells to your garden year round! Come attend this free seminar presented by the Travis County Master Gardeners Association on selecting and planting roses in your garden. We will be discussing Earth Kind Roses, a designation indicating high performance and outstanding disease and insect tolerance, as well as the basics of pruning and rose care. Earth Kind is an important designation given to select roses by the Texas A&M University Agriculture program. Earth Kind Roses have been through rigorous statewide testing and evaluation by a team of horticultural experts and found to possess a high level of landscape performance and outstanding disease and insect tolerance/resistance. We will include illustrations of a number of Earth Kind Roses plus information on site selection, soil amendments, and bed preparations. And just as important as selection is care for your roses. Pruning rose bushes is intimidating to many gardeners, but actually very good for the plants. Becoming an accomplished rose pruner takes time and practice. Learn about properly pruning plus the basics of rose care. This FREE seminar is sponsored by the Travis County Master Gardeners Association in partnership with the AgriLife Extension, Travis County. For more information call (512)854-9600 and ask for the Master Gardeners desk or visit http://www.tcmastergardeners.org http://www.tcmastergardeners.org/ No reservations necessary, just come! |
