“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 been visiting rose gardens up north and down south and will share their photos with us on the big screen. We’ll also have pictures of our local members’ gardens as well as those of fellow ARS members from around the country.
