ROSE PRUNING CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT 02/19/2017





CALLING ALL ROSE LOVERS, BUSY GARDENERS 
YOU PROCRASTINATORS TOO
(we know you're out there)

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO BE PICKING FROM YOUR ROSES IN 6-8 WEEKS?


THEN JOIN US 
WE HAVE THE JUMP START YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

Jill Green of Sweet Life Garden
 and
Anne of Anne E's Garden Fresh 
are going to help you refine 
your annual rose pruning chores.


SUNDAY,  FEBRUARY 19

9a-10:30
at
The Gardens at Tre Soli

US 
We will have rose bushes planted in raised beds for 
demonstration 
&!
 practice   

For many of us it is practice that makes us comfortable & proficient with this garden chore
Each participant will have their own bush on which to work during the class
There will be plenty of time for questions & we will start on time

Topics to be covered are the Who, What, When, Why, How of healthy rose pruning
We will talk about various forms such as climbers, ramblers, trees and of course your basic shrub


YOU
Bring your favorite garden geek friend, and your "armour":
hand pruners & loppers, closed toe shoes, & sun protection
If you are doing this for the first time and do not yet have pruners and loppers 
you may try out our tools and we will talk about tools and their selection


For those who want to boldly go where best pruners do, gauntlet gloves are highly recommended

These are the leather or vegan leather gloves that go up to the elbow
Expensive but for many rose gardeners worth every penny.

For those who really want to move efficiently like a professional, head & eye protection is recommended

To prevent spread of disease all pruning blades will be bleached before and after each bush

TIPS TO PREPARE FOR CLASS
It is always a good idea to sharpen or have your pruning blades sharpened 
and oiled before the season starts
Dull blades can rip and tear the rose flesh leading to an entry for diseases
A quick web search will lead you to businesses that sharpen blades
Sometimes these craftspeople are available farmer's markets


CLASS SIZE WILL BE LIMITED SO RSVP to JILL OR ANNE
before noon Wednesday February15th

OR

For those who haven't been to the Gardens at Tre Soli 
the address will be supplied when you reserve your place

SEE YOU IN THE GARDEN!
