The
Heritage Rose Foundation announced that The North Central Florida Heritage
Roses Group is sponsoring the 4th Annual Rose Lover's Gathering at Angel
Gardens, l4228 NW 222 Place, Alachua, Florida on Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 11a.m.
to 6 p.m. There will lunch, raffles and more. Besides enjoying the beautiful Angel
Gardens, you’ll be treated to two well-known speakers with their informative
talk about roses.
Ruth Knopf : Ruth
is one of the earliest Rose Rustlers in America. She has collected Old Garden
Roses for many decades, pioneering the Preservation Movement that has become a
legacy for others to follow. She will be accompanied by the City of
Charleston's Horticulturist, Joanne
Breland. Ruth was last year's
honoree for the Great Rosarian of the World Celebration which takes place at
the Huntington in LA and again in New York for her work with Noisette roses.
Ruth is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to Old Roses, and we are proud
and honored to have her come.
Peggy Martin: Peggy travels all over the United States teaching
about the easy care of Old Garden Roses. Her namesake rose, ‘The Peggy
Martin Rose,’ has been sold by the thousands to raise money to help restore
gardens along the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. “The Peggy Martin Rose” miraculously survived
the floods in New Orleans. Peggy is a member of the long-lived New
Orleans Old Garden Rose Society and brings the current President, Margaret
Ganier, with her to Angel Gardens.
Roses
are easy plants to grow contrary to popular belief. Why do you think Roses have been around for millions of
years? All they need are food, water and sunlight. Just like you
and me.
