As Mother's Day is in May, the person naming the most roses with mother in the name or named for the hybridizer's mother will be the winner.

Program: Fun & Games with Roses
For our June meeting, come join us for a Name That Rose Challenge. Everyone is invited to bring 2 roses (one rose per bottle). Place the rose name on a piece of paper upside down beneath each bottle. We had this program last year and it was so popular we brought it back!
Everyone will receive a numbered paper on which to show us how good a rose guesser you are. The person naming the most roses correctly will win a prize.
Be prepared to tell us about the roses you brought. Also, don’t forget to bring roses for the Little Rose Show.
