Roses

On Wednesday, July 20, 2016, we attended the weekly Garden Walk at Boerner Botanical Gardens.

The topic was Roses, and the guide was Bruce Barr of the local rose society.

The guide was knowledgeable and passionate about roses.

Entertaining, educational, and well worth attending.

We saw many fine examples, including old roses, more recent introductions, and even Dr. Huey (commonly used as rootstock for grafted roses).

One of the most interesting things we saw was some dog vomit fungus in one of the rose beds.

Counts as 1.5 MGV education hours.
