Forsythia is blooming, which signals pruning time for certain types of roses. But not all roses benefit from annual pruning. And there are different methods for some specific types of roses.
Join San Juan Island Master Gardener volunteers on Sunday afternoon March 15 from 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm to learn more about how to plant, protect, prune and propagate many types of roses grown in the Pacific Northwest.
Horticultural fact sheets researched and edited by Washington State University Extension staff will be distributed along with experience of local rose gardeners.
The workshop will start at the community room at Skagit Valley College, 221 Weber Way for a short presentation. Participants will then carpool to a local rose garden for a hands-on rose pruning demonstration.
The workshop and field trip are free of charge and no registration is necessary.
