Last Saturday (March 1st) was Rose Day at Brogan Park for the Gwinnette Rose Society. Time to prune all the roses at the County Park. Plus we spend the day talking roses with the general public. I really enjoy talking roses with people. To top off everything, we have a rose raffle. Nothing huge, maybe about 30ish roses. 6 tickets for $5. I bought $10 worth of tickets. There were 5 roses I really wanted. Bengerman Britton, Tropicana, Knock Out (original), Rosa Rugosa Alba and the mini Odessa. All of these rose's were well established bush's in 3, 5 and 7 1/2 gal. pots. I scattered my tickets amoung the 5 roses and waited. I was hoping for at least one bush. When all was said and done I went home with Tropicana, Knock Out, Rosa Rugosa Alba and Odessa.Tropicana was the monster. Three huge canes with 2 basil breaks just getting started. I had to put the back seats down in my SUV and lay it down to get it home. Not a bad day for $10.
