MARCH:

The CRS has no events in March for members, but now is the perfect time to review last year, and plan for this year's garden. Check out books from the library or search the internet for information on gardening and growing roses. Mark your calendar for our meetings and special events. Will you redesign your rose beds this year or perhaps develop new ones? What roses will you grow this year? Where will you plant them? Could 2010 be the year you win a ribbon or trophy at the Annua Show? Use this time to plan and dream!
