Events in Sacramento Historic Rose Garden

16 years ago

Hi -

On this Saturday, Nov 15, I'll be leading a tour about "Fall Color in the Rose Garden." Because we've had such a mild fall, there is still a lot of bloom, but there are also colorful hips to talk about and foliage starting to turn. Tour starts at 10 am, meeting inside the main gate at Broadway and 10th St. The weather promises to be glorious.

We also will do two pruning clinics. Barbara Oliva will give a class on pruning heritage roses on Dec 6 at 10 am. I will talk about climbing roses on Dec 27, also at 10 am. We will, of course, answer any questions about any types of roses that we can in both classes.

If any of you are in the area, you are welcome to join in. We are just about ready to start pruning, and anybody is welcome to come work with us on any Wed or Sat at 10 am. If you don't feel confident about your pruning skills, have no fear, we'll work with you.

I'd love to hear the news and see the pictures too, Paula. I honestly have no idea how the day went! When you are putting on an event, and leading tours, the day goes by much too quickly. I took not a single photo, and hope that folks who did come are willing to share. I saw Daun, and Michael AT, and several of the Vintage friends, so folks certainly turned out. If Aprille was here, I didn't get to meet her. From my perspective, it was a great day, although it was quite hot. The roses loved it, and many opened obligingly throughout the day. Many people bought roses, and I think that we are set with enough money in the budget for another year's operations. Heartfelt thanks to everybody who came to help (Jeri and Clay for the great catalog, especially) and everyone who came for a lovely day. The folks who stayed overnight are planning to meet up tomorrow morning for just a little more time in the cemetery. It's hard to tear away... Anita

I'll be coming to the Dec. 5 pruning clinic for sure. I've developed a new problem in regard to The Sun and Me, also having a lot of other allergy/smog difficulties, so I'm playing it by ear as to coming to volunteer - but I should be there in a week or two. Will you all be working on the day before Thanksgiving? I might make it then, but didn't know if everyone would be home baking pies, etc.
