This year has been a whirlwind! Our Rednecks & Roses speaking tour has been a rousing success, but also a tiring one. My blog posts have suffered, but I am alive and well, traveling along the highways and hedgerows talking to anyone who’ll listen about growing roses.
We are winging our way to Syracuse New York this weekend to take part in the biggest rose party of the year! The American Rose Societies Fall National Rose Show and Convention. Sponsored by the Syracuse Rose Society, its sure to be a memorable event.
A full line up of speakers from around the globe will be on hand to enlighten and inspire.
L to R: Michael Marriott, David Austin Roses, UK. Alain Meilland, Meilland Roses, France. Bill Radler, creator of the Knock Out rose, Thomas Proll & Steve Hutton, Star Roses & Plants (not pictured)
We’ll also see rose entries from around the U.S as the nations top rose exhibitors bring their best blooms to the show to be judged.
The new president of the American Rose Society will take the oath of office and we’ll have a lot of fun in between.
Incoming American Rose Society President Pat Shanley
