On Your Mark for a Rosy Spring

On Your Mark for a Rosy Spring

Get set, ready — GROW!  At 10 o’clock in the morning, Saturday March 21 in the Loose Park Rose Garden, 52nd and Pennsylvania.  Director and Rosarian, Judy Penner will SHOW & TELL rose enthusiasts what is needed to get going & achieve real rose beauty in their own gardens.  The Kansas City Rose Society (KCRS) and KC Parks once again join in presenting this popular FREE annual event.

How to prepare the soil, dig the hole and plant a rose bush for best results will be demonstrated.  Also, learn which rose varieties will grow best in this area. Come and see how to care for roses already growing to bring out their best – all from an expert. Like all good gardeners, Judy Penner is concerned with responsible procedures and products in the Laura Conyers Smith Municipal Rose Garden and home gardens, large or small.

There will be hand-outs at no charge and chances to win prizes.  You may want to take some notes and ask your own gardening questions. 2020 is the eighty – ninth year for Kansas City’s National and World Award winning public rose garden.  All the roses over all those years have been furnished by the KCRS and cared for by Parks & Recreation.

Everyone who likes roses or thinks they would like to know more about them, is cordially invited to attend this FREE  public demonstration, Saturday March 21 at 10 a.m. ,  Outdoors in the Rose Garden.   You’ll learn lots & have fun too!
