RAKING UP AND PREPARING FOR THE KC WINTER

The summer is coming to a close and this meeting of the Johnson County Rose Society will help us know what to do to get our roses ready for their winter nap. The meeting will be held on Thursday, September 10, at 7:00pm at the Prairie Village Community Center, 7720 Mission Road, Prairie Village, KS. Dr. Glenn Hodges, Laura Dickinson, and John Riley, all ARS Consulting Rosarians, will lead a panel discussion of the best methods of protecting our rose bushes over the winter, and the best time to do this winterizing work.

All JCRS meetings are free and open to the public. Refreshments are provided. Members and guests are welcome to take advantage of the “Consulting Rosarians Corner”- a free individual consultation with a Consulting Rosarian. Bring your questions and concerns about any aspect of growing and caring for roses-you can even bring samples of your plant! The Consulting Rosarians will also give timely tips about caring for roses “This Month In The Rose Garden”.
