They will discuss how to properly prune various types of roses, plant bareroot roses, care for roses grown in containers and how to fertilize a rose garden.

Guests will receive a door prize and be entered into a rose raffle.

The annual cost to join the rose society is $20 per family and new members will receive a year’s subscription to the club’s newsletter “Rose Ecstasy” and a 10 percent annual discount card good at Green Thumb Nursery all year.
