The Ventura County Rose Society will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, November 21, 2013, at the Ventura County Office of Education Conference Center at 5100 Adolfo Rd., Camarillo.

The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for advice from Consulting Rosarians and refreshments, a little rose show at 7:00 p.m., and our speaker presentation will begin at 7:30 pm.

This VCRS meeting will feature three different demonstrations showing methods of rose propagation from cuttings. Jeri and Clay Jennings from the Gold Coast Heritage Rose Foundation will show their method of propagating Old Garden Roses. Burling Leong, owner of Burlington Nursery in Visalia, CA, will demonstrate how she does chip budding propagation to produce many of the roses for the Hearst Castle Rose Garden. Kim Rupert will demonstrate his "burrito method" of making cuttings.
Members and guests will have an opportunity to try "hands-on" propagation. This will be a very exciting meeting for anyone interested in learning how to propagate their favorite rose that is no longer in commerce.

Visitors are always welcome to our VCRS meetings. For more information contact: Janet Sklar at 818-337-9970 or Dawn-Marie Johnson at 805-523-9003. Our website is http://www.venturarose.org/
