This month’s meeting is Monday, May 16, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 101 of the Casa del Prado in Balboa Park. We are privileged to have our own Ruth Tiffany as our speaker this month. Ruth is a Master Rosarian and well known to all of us as a passionate rose lover. She has been growing roses for many years and currently grows over 700 roses on her corner lot in San Carlos. When they are in bloom her roses are phenomenal to see! Ruth will be speaking this month on the topic of fragrant roses, one of her favorite subjects. Ruth is encouraging everyone to bring a stem of their favorite fragrant rose. We hope all of you can attend this animated meeting which will include a raffle, and an auction of several hard-to-find roses. So come and enjoy the fellowship of other rose lovers, Ruth’s presentation, and the auction. We hope all of our new members will attend!

There Will Be a Little Rose Show at this Month’s Meeting! After last month’s meeting and our annual rose show you should all be experts in staging your roses. So bring your blooms and enter them in our Little Rose Show. It’s fun and not intimidating, and there are awards to be won! Also, we have added a photography section.

Pre-meeting Rose Care Program with Q&A From 7:00—7:30 p.m. Gary Bulman, Master Rosarian, will be presenting a short program in the Consulting Rosarian Corner about successfully growing roses.
