Would you like

to learn more about growing roses? If so, the South Metro Rose Society,

in association with the American Rose Society and Home Depot, would like

to help you. They will offer their second annual seminar, "How to

Grow Beautiful Roses" at the Peachtree City Home Depot this Saturday

at 10 a.m.

This free seminar

attracted close to 65 people last year and the South Metro Rose Society

would like even more people to come out and learn about proper rose care

this year. The seminar will provide useful information to both beginners

and experts. Topics will include selecting the proper rose type for various

landscapes, soil preparation, insect control, disease prevention and much

more. Educational hand-outs will be provided as well as membership opportunities

to both the South Metro Rose Society and the American Rose Society.

The seminars

will be led by consulting rosarians from the South Metro Rose Society.

Their help is designed to ensure that growing roses, which is our national

floral emblem, is a positive experience for all.

The South Metro

Rose Society meets on the fourth Monday of every month at 7 p.m. at the

Heritage Bank in Fayetteville. Membership to the club is $15 a year and

the public is invited to attend as many meetings as they like without

joining. The meetings feature guest speakers, refreshments and door prizes.
