TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13 / 6:30 PM EST
LOCATION: Sullivan Munce / Zionsville
PROGRAM: OLD ROSES FOR MODERN GARDENS
Old roses have a place in modern gardens, perfect for a mixed border where they can serve as a screen or specimen and add fragrance, interest, beauty and a bit of history. Anita will describe the classes of old roses, showing how they can be included in your garden. Hoosiers can enjoy the glorious summer display and fall hips and foliage of the classic Old Garden Roses better than Californians, where Anita lives, because the Midwest has the winter chill that they need. More tender, repeat-blooming heritage roses of Asian descent may need some special protection. We’ll discuss them all!
SPEAKER: ANITA CLEVENGER
Anita Clevenger volunteered for 17 years in the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery’s Historic Rose Garden, most recently as the curator of this site which received multiple international awards. No longer a volunteer at the cemetery, she continues to work to preserve rare and historic heritage roses by propagating them to pass along to collectors and commercial vendors, mentoring gardens and gardeners where heritage roses are grown, and teaching rose propagation.
She is the Vice President for Publications of the Heritage Rose Foundation and is the chief editor of its newsletter. She is a Lifetime Sacramento County UC Master Gardener, and has written many articles about roses and general gardening for publications around the world.
