Please join us by going to https://www.potomacrose.org Our region has many different micro-climates due to varying proximities to bodies of water, the heat‐island effect of urban areas, and the fact that our society’s geographical area has a long north‐south axis. Our summers are normally hot and humid, but our growing season is quite long. To serve the interest of our members, PRS sponsors lectur
es and demonstrations, provides consulting rosarians, co-publishes a newsletter, sells or auctions roses, tours rose gardens, and organizes rose exhibitions. As PRS aspires to continue its leadership and service, it has been listening to rose lovers. Over the last decade, potential members have been telling us they want beautiful, fragrant, environmentally sustainable, low maintenance roses! PRS has responded to their requests by diversifying recent programming to make more information available on growing modern and old garden roses in the mid‐Atlantic region without the use of synthetic chemicals. Our first major educational effort towards organic culture was a highly successful symposium, 1St Annual Mid-Atlantic Symposium on Disease Resistant Roses. The featured speaker was Peter Kukielski, author of Roses without chemicals and former curator of the New York Botanical Garden’s Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden. Our monthly meetings are currently held via Zoom. See our upcoming events list at https://www.potomacrose.org/events
