CT ROSE SOCIETY MEETING & PARDEE ROSE GARDEN TOUR

The Connecticut Rose Society

will meet in the beautifully restored Greenhouse and Center at the Pardee

Rose Garden, established in 1922, located in New Haven’s East Rock Park .

After a guided tour of the garden, which features a tiered rose arbor and

stairway resembling the top of a wedding cake, Matthew Nabb, the City’s

resident horticulturist, will meet us in the Greenhouse classroom to share the

history of the garden and photographs from the early 1900’s. 

Following Mr. Nabb’s presentation,

Consulting Rosarians will give a brief power point presentation, identifying

predominant rose pests of 2013 and how they were managed. Have you had any

problems this summer with rose disease or insects? You are welcome to bring

samples in sealed plastic bags to this meeting. Refreshments will follow.

Pardee Rose Garden, Greenhouse and

Center are located 180 Park Road,

Hamden, CT 06517-3845, at the intersection of Park Drive and Farm Road in

Hamden. Free parking.
