About the program:

As the new year begins, our focus turns to one of the most vital tasks for a healthy rose garden: pruning. We are thrilled to announce that our January meeting will once again be dedicated to our popular hands-on pruning workshop, designed to give you the confidence and skills to make the right cuts for a spectacular season of blooms.

To ensure everyone gets specialized guidance, we are delighted to have our resident experts leading demonstrations. Following a brief introduction, we will break into smaller groups, a format that was highly successful last year. Our demonstration leaders will be:
• Susie Sedlacek on Hybrid Teas, Floribundas, and Shrubs 
• Carol Wong on Miniature Roses 
• Stu Dalton on Climbing Roses 

New This Year: Bring Your Roses for Personalized Advice!
We have an exciting new feature for this year’s workshop, thanks to a terrific suggestion from Carol Wong. For members, we encourage you to bring your own potted roses and pruning shears to the meeting. This is a fantastic opportunity to receive hands-on, one-on-one coaching from our Consulting Rosarians (CRs) on your very own plants. If you’ve ever been unsure where to cut or how to shape a particular rose, this is your chance to get expert advice tailored directly to your needs

What to Bring:
• Your potted rose(s): Bring one or two plants you’d like pruning advice on.
• Your pruning shears: Please ensure they are clean and sharp.
• Gardening gloves.
• Your questions!

Whether you’re a first-time pruner or a seasoned gardener looking to refine your technique, this workshop is for you. Let’s get our roses — and our skills — in top shape for the growing season ahead.
We look forward to seeing you there!
