Jan. 12: Learn to Care for Your Roses

rosesocietyThe Santa Clarita Valley Rose Society is holding its 21st Annual Free Rose Care Seminar on Sunday, Jan. 12, at 2:30 p.m. at the SCV Senior Center, 22900 Market Street, Newhall.


The seminar will feature Master Rosarians Bob Belendez and Kitty Belendez, who will demonstrate how to properly prune various types of roses. They will also explain how to plant bareroot roses, how to rejuvenate roses grown in containers, and how to fertilize and mulch.


You will be rewarded with beautiful blooms when you practice these techniques on your own roses.


The club will also have a door prize, rose raffle, and refreshments after the seminar.


There is no cost to attend, and the public is invited. New members who join the rose society (annual dues are $20 per family) will receive a year’s subscription to the club’s award-winning newsletter, Rose Ecstasy, as well as a 10 percent annual discount card good at Green Thumb Nursery all year.
