Learn how to keep roses happy in summer

Are your roses looking a little droopy – or crisp around the edges? Or did they bloom in spring – and now appear to be taking the summer off?

Learn how to keep roses happy during summer heat with the Yolo County master gardeners. Join the experts on Thursday, July 17, when they host a hands-on workshop at the Quad Rose Garden on the campus of Woodland Community College.

Starting at 9 a.m., “How to Have More Roses in Hot Weather” will teach participants by doing – they’ll help deadhead the campus rose garden. This one-hour rose maintenance class will use the college’s bushes as examples.

“Bring your favorite hand shears, pruners, gloves and kneeling pad,” say the organizers. “Master gardeners will show techniques to produce more rose blooms in hot weather.”

No advance registration is necessary. Participation is free and open to gardeners of all skill levels.

The Quad Rose Garden is located at Woodland Community College,  2300 E. Gibson Road, Woodland.
