Point Defiance Rose Pruning Demo

Consulting rosarians from the Tacoma Rose Society and Metro Parks staff will demonstrate rose-pruning techniques and share information on how to care for roses and get them ready for the growing season. Guests will be able to observe various rose-pruning and care techniques up-close, and try their hand at pruning in the garden.

Participants should bring a notepad and pen, rose gardening implements from home to try out (pruners, gloves, etc.), and weather-appropriate attire, since the demonstration will be held outside, regardless of the weather.
