Rose Workshop

The first summer workshop in the City of Ojai Community Demonstration Garden was a resounding success. Thirty participants came to the garden to learn how to select and care for roses from Ventura County Master Gardener Program Co-chair Anthony Hepton.rose-workshop-1-web.jpgTony shared many helpful expert pruning and planting tips with the group. Participants learned how to save water and suppress weeds by spreading a four inch thick layer of mulch around roses. They also learned how to use plants like feverfew and cranesbill to attract beneficial insects that keep rose pests at bay.rose-workshop-2-web.jpgPhotos by Les Dublin.

Could you be more specific about which "cranesbill"?
Thanks.

I praise the valuable info you offer in your post. I will bookmark your website and have my baby check up here regularly. I am quite sure they will study lots of new stuff here than anybody else!
