The June 6 Rose Society of Tucson meeting will feature a special photo presentation of the recent Tucson Rose Show by Robin Lansing.

She spent several hours taking photos of winners at the show which will be a feast for your eyes which is ideal since we are also having our annual June potluck at the meeting.

It is always a gastronomic treat to be at Rose Society potlucks since we have the best food in Tucson presented by our members.

Also on tap will be important information on how to get roses through the summer without having them die.

We will talk about watering systems, shade cloth, hoses, why spraying off your roses every morning is important. It is the daily quest to fight spider mites and raise the humidity in your garden for better growth. Plus, we will delve into fertilizer strategies during the summer and more.

If you have any questions about rose growing or have any problems, this is the time to ask for help.
