This month’s meeting will be on Monday, October 16th and we
are privileged to have Kathy Monge coming from the Orange County Rose Society to speak at our meeting. Her program will begin at 7:00p.m. right after our 6:00pm potluck. Kathy is in high demand as an animated speaker at rose societies on various topics. She is a Master Rosarian, Horticulture and Arrangement Judge for the American Rose Society (ARS) as well as an exhibitor in horticulture, arrangement and photography competitions. She is two-time past president of the Orange County Rose Society and is the current Roses in Review Coordinator for the Pacific Southwest District. Along with an occasional speaking engagement, she writes a monthly column for the Orange County Rose Society’s Rose Gazette and was a contributing author for the 2021 ARS Rose Annual. She has been honored with the 2018 Outstanding Consulting Rosarian and the 2022 Outstanding Horticulture Judge for the Pacific Southwest District of the American Rose Society as well as the 2007 Bronze Medal recipient for the Orange County Rose Society. She grows approximately 150 rose bushes in Santa Ana, California with an emphasis on miniature and microminiature roses. Her latest adventure in roses is hybridizing and she is a board member for the Rose Hybridizers Association. We hope you can all come to this meeting and hear expert advice from our speaker.
Meeting location: Casa del Prado’s room 101, in Balboa Park.
There have been some adjustments to the meeting times.
We will NOT have a Consulting Rosarian’s Corner or
Arranger’s/Photography Corner this month due to the potluck.
It’s Potluck Time Again!
Fall is always a fun time to have a potluck, where everyone brings
their favorite homemade dish to share. We are happy to announce that we will have a potluck this month just prior to the monthly meeting. So here is the rotating system we use to ensure that all types of foods are brought. Our potluck dinner begins at 6:00 p.m. before our meeting on October 16th. Please bring your best creation according to the leading letter of your last name as indicated below. Homemade dishes are always the best! Following the potluck we will have our program and speaker beginning at 7:00 p.m.
A — G Dessert
H — Q Main Dish

This month’s meeting will include the last Little Rose Show of the year starting at 6:30 p.m.
Come and bring your best roses for a fun contest that is not intimidating.
