Time: 7:00pm
Location: Colorado Federation of Garden Clubs
1556 Emerson Street, Denver
Program: "Two Classic French Rose Gardens" by Mary Mastin
Bonjour! Join the Denver Rose Society in August for some
armchair travel to Paris! Mary Mastin is traveling all the way from
Grand Junction to share her program on
La
Roseraie du Val-du-Marne à L'Haÿ-les-Roses and Les Roses de
Bagatelle,
two very famous and beautiful rose gardens.
Mary is a retired surgeon and earned the distinction of being the
third female to finish a General Surgery Residency at the University
of Colorado. She began growing roses in the early 80's with a focus
on Hybrid Teas and Floribundas. She has now gravitated to Old Garden
Roses and a few modern shrubs. Please join us for our evening
getaway to Paris!

Powdery Mildew
may begin to reappear in the last half of the month. If it appears
in spite of preventive sprays, an eradicator spray will be needed.
Continue deep watering until the middle of the month, then reduce
watering to begin slowing down the rose growth in preparation for
the dormant season. Although fertilizing is not usually recommended
after the middle of the month, if fertilizing is needed, switch to a
liquid foliar form. If vigorous basal growth appears in the last
part of this month, it is wise to remove these new shoots which may
not harden off before an early damaging frost. Questions, contact a local
Consulting
Rosarian.
