CELEBRATING OUR NATIONAL FLOWER, “THE ROSE!”
By Elsina M. Dean Master Rosarian
The American Rose Society has proclaimed the month of June as Library and Rose Month.
The Mother Lode Rose Society has invited the Amador County Library at 530 Sutter Street, Jackson, CA to participate in the National program to promote rose growing and to offer educational materials in the advancement of knowledge of the beauty of our National Flower, “The Rose.”
The Mother Lode Rose Society will present a month long display of educational materials, membership pamphlets, the History of the Rose and of our local society during the month of June in the Library in Jackson. The public will enjoy the beauty of fresh rose and dried arrangements.
This is our invitation to the public and community in an effort to make them aware of the advantages of belonging to the American Rose Society. Kathy Pifari, Mother Lode Rose Society Consulting Rosarian Coordinator will be available on June 22nd at 2:00 P.M. to answer questions and give some history of the rose. The Local Rose Society has enrolled the Amador Library as a member of the American Rose Society.
The Library will receive a beautiful and educational full color, bi-monthly, 84 page magazines, along with a 130 page American Rose Annual (December publication) full of rose horticulture articles and rose related topics, with exceptional quality photos of roses and rose gardens; with this subscription the Library will also receive a reference book, Modern roses 12.
The Mother Lode Rose Society is proud is to be an active participant in this educational advancement and exposure to what is new in the Rose World. The local society has the responsibility of maintaining the Rose Garden at the Amador Senior Center. We rosarians are a fun and rose loving group who support the community when asked as well as caring for the garden. We welcome all novices who love roses but are afraid of the challenge of raising any.
Please join The Motherlode Rose Society on the first Tuesday of every month at 1:30 PM. at the Amador Senior Center 229 New York Ranch Road, Jackson for a fun and illuminating experience. We do not meet in July or August. Our first meeting for the new year will be in September 2010 with a Dynamic speaker, Jolene Adams, American Rose Society Vice President who will give us the insight on the why’s and why not’s of Chemical Safety. The meetings are free to the public.
Please stop by the Library and enjoy the floral displays, information, and educational pamphlets during the month of June 2010.
