Date to be determined, as soon as the roses in my garden let me know when full bloom time will be.
Details will be posted here, on the Hartwood Roses Facebook page, and on the Hartwood Roses web site as soon as I have them.
Can't go to any of those, but the photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNope, these aren't very convenient for you. I posted this so local folks can see that there is a LOT of garden stuff to do around here at this time of year.
DeleteHow great it would be to be able to go to these events. Alas, not possible.
