Rose Work Day, Hollywood Cemetery, March 15, Richmond, Virginia
Comments (3)Connie, you know I am too far away, but I wish you a splendid work day. To those who have never gone on a rose work day, you cannot imagine more fun for free. I go to the ones at Vintage, but I hear the same thing from people who go to the ones at the Sacramento Cemetery Garden, and also from various work days Stephen Scanniello has held.

(Great photos, and it's good to see you posting.) Ann...See MoreClass on Old Garden Roses - Sacramento Cemetery
