Saturday, October 7, 2023
10am to 1pm
Join us for a session about getting your roses ready for fall and winter.
Location: Roswell Public Library, 115 Norcross Street, Roswell, GA 30075
Choosing the ideal roses for your garden depends on sun exposure, soil, and rainfall. We can help you choose varieties that will thrive.

We can answer your rose questions.
Our membership includes consulting rosarians certified by the American Rose Society who provide expert advice specific to our region. We also have master rosarians (consulting rosarians with 10 years of experience) who are also happy to provide guidance. The best part—you don’t have to be a member to connect with a volunteer!
