The Ventura County Rose Society will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, June 28, 2012, 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, and our speaker presentation will begin at 7:30 pm.

The VCRS meeting will feature Burling Leong, owner of Burlington Nursery in Visalia, CA, speaking on "Chip Budding at Home in the Garden". Ms. Leong will demonstrate how to do "chip budding" in propagating roses. She will show pictures of her rose garden propagation and restoration work at Hearst Castle. She also did propagating work for the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and the Vanderbilt Mansion in New York. This lecture should be very informative and interesting.

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