The Cochise County Master Gardeners will present a rose workshop, sponsored by the U of A South Foundation, entitled Roses in the High Desert. The instructor will be Lauren Kettenbach, Certified Rosarian, who has directed the rose gardens in the Pima County Demonstration Gardens for more than 15 years.  The first 45 minutes will be spent with Lauren in Room 503 on campus for a talk on rose care and preliminary pruning demonstration followed by a 15 minute break offering coffee and snacks! The next hour will take us out into the Rose Garden at the U of A Sierra Vista, where Lauren will provide further instruction and demonstration on the roses there. Please bring your pruners if you have some, as we’d like each attendee to be able to practice on one rose bush. We will have several extra pruners here as well.

Cost for the workshop is $10.00 per person or $15.00 per couple. All money and/or donations will be donated to the Rose Garden Invigoration Project on the Sierra Vista campus, where we hope to restore the Rose Garden to beautiful glory by springtime for everyone to enjoy.
