MGHC Education Chair Debbie Bauder comments, “Our next Third Saturday Free Gardening Class features All About Roses, presented by Master Gardener Susan Speraw. Susan is an avid gardener and has been growing roses for over thirty years, first in California and more recently in East Tennessee. A member of the Tri-State Rose Society of Chattanooga, her own rose garden on Signal Mountain contains over 40 different roses. The class will begin with a brief look at the history of the rose, reaching back to what we know of its importance in ancient times, and continuing forward with a discussion of the evolution of hybridizing, and the creation of the modern rose that fills our gardens today. The class will also cover the various types of roses and their characteristics; practical tips for selecting the perfect rose for your setting, and guidance on planting so your roses can thrive in a variety of different locations.
