Queen’s Herald January 2023

The April Meeting on the 20th has speaker Carol Newcomb from Spokane’s Rosarium Garden Center. She will speak to us about detailed fertilizing for great roses.

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 program will be presented by Henderson Mar. who is a personal trainer. He’ll share some exercises that we should be doing before working in the garden.

Our Zoom meeting this month will feature a talk from John about all the steps in propagating roses in the NW. Learn how to add your favorite roses to your garden in less than 2 years.

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.

Highlight: Keith says that if the temperature is 85 degrees or so, deadheading will change from 4pm to 10am.
