President’s Message
November 11, 2020
We have rescheduled our November meeting with Chris VanCleave for Saturday, January 9, 2021. We will be sending out the November newsletter shortly.
We are well into Fall, although Summer seems like it was both just yesterday and a million years ago! My roses are still blooming and will continue until the first frost, which traditionally has been around Thanksgiving. The colors are richer and deeper, and my no-spray garden fared well. For the most part, they are well foliated and happy.
This year I will try pruning in the Fall. I have not done this before, so I am hoping they will benefit from this change. I will not prune drastically, and this doesn’t mean there will be no pruning in March. In addition, I plan to remove some of the older bushes that are not producing well and replace them with newer varieties, such as the 2021 AGRSä winners. Gaye Hammond was our speaker last month and I found her comment on own root vs budded plants interesting. She said that she found in her own garden, after about 7-8 years, budded roses didn’t do as well as own root. I am seeing the same thing in my garden.
The October issue of Skyscrapers & Roses, our newsletter, focused on Growing Roses Sustainably. It is included with MRS membership. If you are not a member yet, you can join from "Storefront" page on this website.
Be well, stay safe and know that we value your membership more than I can say. Protect others and yourself - Wear a Mask!!
See you on January 9th!
