Simple Steps to improve your Smartphone Photography
2020-09-01 19:30 - 21:00 | Via Zoom, CA, United States
This presentation will concentrate on simple steps to improve your Smartphone photography. By applying several basic principles of photography along with some new camera skills, your photos will go from an ordinary snapshot to one you will want to share and maybe even enter in a rose show. In addition, we will discuss apps for post-processing and add-on camera gear. The program will also feature a review of rose photos where we can discuss how the photo was taken and more. After the presentation, there will be a question and answer segment.
Speaker Sally Long says, “My rose background is Past Pacific Southwest District Photography Chair, Pacific Southwest Horticulture Judges Chair, and Rose Photography Judge. Currently, I’m semi-retired to enjoy my real passion for photography and photo art. I’m now teaching Zoom Smartphone Photography classes for Oasis San Diego.”
MRS members that have attended Sally’s workshops before highly recommend this session as Sally brings both her passion for roses and photography to this presentation! Please see the details below to attend this Zoom meeting:

“Roses of the Wild West”

A Faraway World of Roses—France and England in 2019
2020-08-18 19:30 - 21:00 | Via Zoom, CA, United States
From the South of France, land of old Tea roses, to the streets of London, a few magical experiences of roses, and implications for the future of roses and gardens with Gregg Lowery.
Although Gregg is no stranger to those of us in the rose world, he says about himself: “I have been a passionate gardener and collector of plants for the past 40 years. My collection of historic roses formed the basis of a nursery I developed and managed for 30 years. The preservation of historic rose cultivars and wild roses is my principal cause. To this end I lecture around the world and the USA on roses, their history, their value to gardens and their potential to improve the lives of ordinary people.”
You won’t want to miss this presentation as we get to see Gregg far too infrequently!

Claude Graves presents “Gertrude Jekyll’s Lost Garden”
Gertrude Jekyll was the world’s premier garden designer during the early 1900s. Come along to London on a virtual visit to a restored Jekyll garden and hear the improbable story of the discovery and amazing re-construction of a long-lost historic garden. This feat is even more incredible when you consider it was accomplished single-handedly by one woman who had no previous gardening experience. Her restored garden is now internationally recognized as the most authentic Gertrude Jekyll garden in existence today!
Claude Graves has been growing roses for more than 50 years. He is the current Chairman of the American Rose Center Committee, a Master Consulting Rosarian, Member and former Treasurer of the Heritage Rose Foundation, three-time President of the Collin County Rose Society, twice President of the Dallas Rose Society and Twice President of the Dallas Area Historical Rose Society. Claude is currently the Rose Consultant to the Dallas Arboretum and is the Gardens Curator at the Chambersville Heritage Rose Garden and Anne Belovich Rambler Rose Collection in McKinney, Texas. He is a co-author of the EarthKind© Rose Manual and has been awarded the ARS Silver Medal and Outstanding Consulting Rosarian Award by the ARS South Central District.

Paula Jaffe, Richard Holtz, Vivien Bronshvag and Sandy Simon will provide live demonstrations on a variety of roses. We welcome members and guests to bring their own potted roses as “demonstrators” after which they can either go home with their owners, ready for a strong spring showing…OR we can add them to our raffle table to help them find new homes. This is always one of our most popular annual events and this year should be better than ever (can we even calculate the years of pruning experience in that Dream Team)? If anyone needs assistance to arrange transportation for your rose demonstrators, please contact Andrew Smith on 415-613-4395 or andrewsmith415@gmail.com. See you all there!”
