Thursday, November 20, is our annual Rose Auction, the major fund raising event of the year, and starts at 6:00 PM. RIR is donating roses and members are bringing more from their own gardens – so we expect bidders to have a lot of choices.

Our program is about spring pruning and planting roses. This should get us ready for the “hands on” pruning at the Pt. Defiance Rose Garden on March 7th.

Here’s another short post that covers some recurring questions from new members, with answers. Thanks for continuing to make this a legendary Rose Society.

Congratulations to all the June trophy winners. It was another beautiful TRS Rose Show! You’ll find a complete list of 2023 winners inside this issue.

A real treat this month: “Old garden roses you can grow in Tacoma area gardens” with Margaret Nelson, past president of the Heritage Roses NW Rose Society.

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.
