For over three thousand years roses have been called the Queen of Flowers for their beautiful form, color, and fragrance. They also happen to grow great in Colorado! In this course designed for the beginner, Mary Kirby, rose growing expert from the Denver Rose Society, will share the secrets to successfully growing roses in our Colorado climate. This class will uncover which rose types grow best in our area, how and when to plant, and how to care for your roses through the season. Last, but certainly not least, you’ll have an opportunity to tour the Hudson Gardens Rose Garden, home to over 80 different varieties of roses.

Class will be held at The Inn at Hudson Gardens.
