3rd Saturday Class: All About Roses
July 18 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Join us for “All About Roses” presented by Susan Speraw. Susan is an avid gardener and has been growing roses for over thirty years, first in California, and more recently in East Tennessee. A member of the Tri-State Rose Society of Chattanooga, her own rose garden on Signal Mountain contains over 40 different roses. The class will begin with a brief look at the history of the rose, reaching back to what we know of its importance in ancient times, and continuing forward with a discussion of the evolution of hybridizing, and the creation of the modern rose that fills our gardens today. The class will also cover the various types of roses and their characteristics; practical tips for selecting the perfect rose for your setting, and guidance on how to plant it so it will thrive.
Classes are held in person at the UT/TSU Hamilton County Extension (6183 Adamson Circle, off Bonny Oaks Drive in Chattanooga).
