MANHATTAN ROSE SOCIETY EVENTS
Presenting - Dr. Mark Windham
"Beings Your Roses' Health Coach"
via GoToMeeting
Saturday, July 31, 2021
2:00pm EDT
Members will be sent an email invite the week of the event.
Most rose presentations look in depth at a single topic such as disease prevention, insect control, weed control, soils, nutrition, rose selection, etc. After attending a myriad of these programs, many rosarians struggle with “information overload” as they try to develop a plan for taking care of their roses. This presentation takes a different approach by aiming to increase your skills at becoming a rose health coach. A successful rose health coach will holistically focus on their roses’ wellbeing through managing their nutrition, stress levels (yes, roses live under many stresses just like you do), and plant health.
Mark Windham is a native of Mississippi and holds three degrees in plant pathology from Mississippi State University (BS and MS) and North Carolina State University (PhD). After two years on the faculty at Colorado State University, Mark is currently a professor and distinguished chair in ornamental pathology in the Department on Entomology and Plant Pathology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The focus of his current research is best management plans for Rose Rosette Disease (RRD), screening roses for resistance to Rose Rosette Virus, and retuning flowering dogwood as a viable nursery crop to the Deep South (along and south of I-10/I-12).
He holds six plant patents and one utility patent for dogwood cultivar releases, including Appalachian Spring (a best pick by Horticultural Magazine and featured in National Geographic Magazine) and Karen’s Appalachian Blush (named for his wife). Mark is cofounder of Creative Agricultural Technologies which is the oldest, active spinoff company from the University of Tennessee and UT AgResearch.
He teaches Introductory Plant Pathology, Diseases of Ornamental Plants and SEC Football (freshmen only and his favorite class). Mark is a member of the American Rose Society and a past president of the Holston Rose Society (Knoxville, TN). He is married to Karen (south Louisiana girl) and they have three children, five grandchildren and one spoiled English bulldog named Calhoun Beauregard (Beaux) Windham! mwindham@utk.edu
