At our meeting on April 18 our featured speaker will be John. He will be telling us all about fertilizing our roses – especially in the Spring.

Once the pruning is “finished” let’s make sure to get rid of any rose debris & put on lime if we have not done so, then lay down several inches of fresh mulch.

The March program will focus on planting, including containers, and a
review of spring fertilization. Share your methods with us so we can all learn more.

Alfalfa is one of the additives that is often used when planting roses. It is also used dry or as part of a tea during the spring fertilizing.

During the showing of roses in an ARS Rose Show, the show committee will create some special exhibition classes designed to challenge your eye for display.

Choose an area with at least 6 hours of free sunlight, good water drainage, good air circulation, and no intruding roots from other plantings.

The usual plants that indicate when we should do our spring rose pruning in 2024 are not yet showing any color in our yard: yellow Forsythia and pink Quince.

Our February program by John will focus on Spring pruning methods & tools. We will follow-up with the hands-on project in Pt Defiance on March 2 at 8.45 am.

These are the resources that many TRS Members return to each year. Some are
inside ARS, some are local, and then there are the online resources too.

Thanks for continuing to make this a legendary Rose Society. Here is the list of current 2024 Officers & Committee Chairs for our Society.
