Next Meeting: Tuesday, April 4
Special Panel Discussion:
Exhibiting Tricks Of The Trade

Since the Rose Society of Tucson’s annual rose show is right around the corner on Saturday, April 22, our next meeting will feature a panel discussion about Exhibiting Tricks Of The Trade.

There are many little things involved in being a successful rose exhibitor, and Terry Swartz, Krystal Schmich, Kathryn Madore and Lou Pavlovich will delve into this subject to help rose growers reduce the learning curve.

Kathryn entered her first rose show in Mesa last fall and had no idea what she needed to do in traveling with roses for several hours, how to read a show schedule, how to groom entries and so on. She will share everything she learned.

Krystal is a superb exhibitor and will share her tricks of the trade. Terry will explain how to enter challenge classes and collections while Lou will focus on how you can get roses to last 1-2 weeks with knowledge about using razor sharp shears, Floralife, proper holding containers and the ultimate refrigerator for roses, a chest freezer!

The group will also show what an ideal tool box for entering roses looks like and grooming aides to make better blooms, plus more.

The meeting is slated for Tuesday, April 4 at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, 2150 N. Alvernon Way (one block south of Grant and Alvernon on the east side).

Social time starts at 6:30 p.m., and the program begins at 7 p.m.

All rose growers in Tucson are invited to attend free of charge!
