Winter Rose Get-A-Way Weekend
Our 2008 Winter Rose Get-A-Way Weekend will meet on February 15, 16 and 17 at the
Eden Resort Inn in Lancaster. The room rates will be 94.95. Please make your
reservation before January 15th.
We have an exciting set of programs for this year. The first program will be on organic
fertilizer. The next program will be on ‘Landscaping with Roses’ by Mike Mitchell. Then
there will be an arrangement workshop by Pat Bilson.
At the Rose-Get-Away- Weekend, we are going to do something different. We are having
a hands on workshop (viewers welcome). The committee will provide a container, plant
material, roses and a few other flowers. Please bring your clippers, some newspaper for
the tables, and possibly a kinzen. Soaked Oasis will be available.
There will be a short demonstration of simple techniques to give your design a more
modern feeling and then using the materials provided, you will crate a design. The
designs will be evaluated and used for the dinner table arrangements. At the end of
dinner, you can reclaim your design and take it home – container and all.
Please indicate on the registration form if you will be participating, so that the proper
amount of materials will be available.
After a lunch break there will be two more landscaping programs. The Painted Garden will
have a program on garden structures. Then Mike Tuszynski, who runs the rose garden at
the Morris Arboretum, will talk on companion plantings with roses.
Then we will have the results of our photo contest. Get your pictures in by the 15th to
Bruce Monroe.
The evening will end with our banquet speaker,Aurelia C. Scott, author of "Otherwise
Normal People." She credits her love of plants to the remembered scent of her mother’s
peonies and roses, and the flavor of her father’s home-grown peas. She has gardened in
Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., California, and New Mexico. She now lives in Portland,
Maine with her husband and four bypass pruners. A Cooperative Extension Master
Gardener and Contributing Editor to AudioFile Magazine, her essays and articles appear
in a number of publications, including the New York Times, Fine Gardening, Cottage
Living, and Garden Design.
The evening will end in the hospitality room. This year we will have a change in the
hospitality room. Mary and Bill Slade have volunteered to host the hospitality room. They
did a great job of that at the Harrisburg District Convention so we can look forward to the
hospitality room being open more during the day. This will give us for more casual
meetings and visiting outside of the program room.
On Sunday we will have our business meeting followed by a program on new roses by
Frank Benardella.
Mark your calendars now and plan on attending. Better bring someone new from your
society. Remember attendance at the Winter Rose Get-A-Way Weekend also bring you a
year’s subscription to the Rose Vine.
