The Jersey Shore Rose Society sponsors the 2006 Penn-Jersey District Fall Convention and Rose Show. The seminars for Consulting Rosarians, Judges and Arrangers have something of interest for everyone. Our guest speakers for the weekend are Dr. Keith Zary, Director of Research at Jackson and Perkins, Jason Brown from Conard-Pyle, Jerry Amoroso from Weeks Roses, noted Rosarian and photographer John Mattia, and our own Frank Benardella. The Rose Show will be held on Saturday, September 16th at 1:00, and is open to the public. Registration form can be found at: http://www.jsrs.macwebsitebuilder.com/f//RegFrm-DistConv2006.pdf (Adobe Acrobat reader is required).

We offer informative and entertaining programs on Sundays at 1 pm, repeated Mondays at 11 am from mid-April through mid-Oct. Except for the Rose Propagation Workshops and Stephen Scanniello’s talk, programs are free and no reservations are needed.

Programs last for about 1-1/2 hours and are conducted in our unheated barn or garden. We never cancel due to weather and have conducted rose pruning demonstrations in the snow. Please dress for the weather and bring an umbrella if it’s raining, snowing or hot and sunny.
