Meet a Gardener: Cultivating Roses

Stop by the Rose Garden for short, informal talks on best practices for growing roses, followed by a question-and-answer session. Discussion topics include seasonal care, fertilizing, soil health, pruning techniques, pest and disease management, and an in-depth look at the different types of roses currently growing in The Huntington’s Rose Garden.
