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 Zoom meeting this month will include a program by John about propagating roses. Plus our rose sale on the 21st – and the June 25th Rose Show.

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.

We are excited to have ARS President Diane Sommers of Wisconsin as our featured speaker on the 18th.  Her topic is “The Whys and Hows of Winter Protection”.
