The Unseen Spring at the Huntington Rose Garden
2021-03-09 19:30 - 20:30 | Via Zoom, CA, United States
Are you an admirer of the roses ‘Julia Child’, ‘Dick Clark’, ‘Hot Cocoa’ or ‘Ebb Tide’? If so, you will want to join us on, when The Marin Rose Society will welcome famed rose breeder (of those varieties and many more), and curator of the rose collection at the Huntington Library and Garden, Tom Carruth! Tom will be talking on “The Unseen Spring at the Huntington Rose Garden”.
Tom’s contributions to the world of roses are almost too numerous to mention, and I would suspect that any of us that grow roses have some of his products in their gardens. This is Tom’s first presentation for the Marin Rose Society, and we are delighted to welcome him!
