WJRS February Meeting, Wednesday, February 15
“Rose Garden Visits Outside of the Philadelphia/South Jersey Area”
How have roses around the country fared during these past two unusual weather years? Our members have visited rose gardens up north and down south and shared their photos with us on the big screen. Plus there were pictures of our local members’ gardens as well as those of fellow ARS members from around the country. Brenna Bosch presented a PowerPoint photo show with comments from Bill Kozemchak, Tom Mayhew and others.
