Annual Hands-On Rose Pruning Demonstration
Inez Grant Parker Rose Garden (on the east side of Park Boulevard)
Roger English, SDRS Past President, says:
"Learning to prune roses is an ongoing learning process. It took me several years before I began to feel comfortable using pruners, loppers and a saw to accomplish this important task. It is best learned by watching an expert demonstrate the procedure and then having him mentor you. Meet your consulting rosarians at 9:15 A.M. on Saturday, January 2rd at the north end of the garden. Bring your own pruners and gloves. We will break up into small groups and you will have the opportunity to improve your pruning skills on hybrid teas, floribundas and climbers. Floribundas and climbers are pruned quite differently than hybrid teas."
This annual event will take place at the north end of the Inez Grant Parker Rose Garden on the east side of Park Boulevard from 9:15 a.m. to noon on January 3rd

ANNUAL PRUNING INSTRUCTION
AND DEMONSTRATION AT THE PARK
The San Diego Rose Society will hosts it's annual demonstration of how and when to prune roses correctly. Consulting Rosarians from the SDRS will be on hand to demonstrate the correct way to prune hybrid tea, floribunda, shrub, miniature and climbing roses at the Inez Parker Rose Garden in Balboa Park. The pruning will begin at 9:30 AM, Saturday, January 2, 2010 and finish for the day by 3:00 PM.
This is an opportunity to gain hands on instruction in the art of pruning. Instruction will be given by a con-sulting rosarian and then interested participants will be encouraged to prune bushes, ask questions and really get a feel for the way a bush should be pruned. Bring pruning shears, long gloves if you have them and be prepared to acquire the confidence you need to go home and prune your own bushes without the fear of destroying them.
**CONSULTING ROSARIANS, MARK THIS DAY ON YOUR CALENDAR. WE NEED YOUR
PARTICIPATION!.

Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden Summer Tour
Date: August , 2010
Declared one of the sixteen best public rose gardens of the world in 2004 by the World Federation of Rose Societies the Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden in Balboa Park is a civic treasure. Our national floral emblem is beautifully displayed with two thousand roses of eighty different varieties. Many of these are All- America Rose Selection winners. The garden is located just east of the footbridge on Park Boulevard in Balboa Park. We will meet on Saturday, August at 9:30 A.M. at the north end of the garden under the huge arbor of Rosa fortuniana. Dick Streeper, one of the founders, will give a short talk about the history and importance of the rose garden. Knowledgeable consulting rosarians will then lead groups of about 15 people on different routes throughout the entire garden for about 45 minutes. Certain varieties of roses will be singled out by the tour guides to speak about their special characteristics with regards to fragrance, growth habit, use in the landscape and many other qualities. Questions are welcome. You may well make new selections for your own garden while on the tour. Mark the date on your calendar now.
