A guide to identifying roses in your garden
Thursday, March 19, 2026
6:30pm-8pm
Inherited a rose garden in your new home? Gifted a rose without a label? Are you a collector or hobbyist needing accurate identification of a heritage/old rose? Whatever the mystery, come join us for an informative and interactive program on how best to identify your rose. Free to attend!
If you have a mystery rose in your garden that's blooming, please bring a cutting with you (don't forget the leaves!) or a high-quality picture from last season and our rosarians will teach you how to look for clues to best determine your rose variety. We'll also offer great tips on rose care/growing too!
Our Rosarians can help. We have several Consulting Rosarians (a rose expert trained to speak and teach about roses) in our membership who can answer your questions via email or In-person or on-site consultations.
From what variety to plant where, to pruning schedules, to best fertilizers and composts...our Rosarians are trained to help you with it all.
