Together, we’ll take a look at how this past winter affected local roses, review the season’s blooms so far, and discuss how to keep your roses thriving through the heat and slower days of summer.

 

Discussion topics will include:
• Summer watering and mulching tips

• Planning ahead for autumn rose care
• Fertilizing and late-season watering practices

Questions and conversation are encouraged at any time, so whether you’d like to listen in, ask for advice, or stop by later with photos and questions of your own, this gathering is meant to be relaxed, welcoming, and helpful for rose lovers of all experience levels.

The Rhode Island Rose Society will also be offering memberships during the event.
