What roses will we see in our world 100 years from now? With climate change bringing drought and unpredictable weather patterns, how can we help the most beautiful of roses to survive? Gregg Lowery has attempted to solve this problem with his research and preservation of rare and old garden roses from around the world.

Gregg Lowery, with his partner, Phillip Robinson, started collecting old and rare roses in the early 1980’s with their nursery, Vintage Gardens, which has evolved into The Friends of Vintage Roses, a non-profit dedicated to preserving these special roses – most of which are not available commercially. He will speak to us about his current ideas and solutions to saving roses for humanity of the future.

Gregg Lowery – The Friends of Vintage Roses – “In my perspective, all roses are historical. Time goes on.”

A RAFFLE of roses and other items and the MONTHLY ROSE SHOW will be held after the presentation!
