Join guest presenter and hybridizer, Burling Leong of Burlington Rose Nursery in Visalia, CA. Burling is a member favorite and she's returning to Santa Rosa for an evening of stories and pictures about her extensive and important work in restoring some of the country's most historic rose gardens.
During her pictorial presentation, she will share how she strategized and accomplished the restoration rose projects at Hearst Castle, Will Rogers State Park; created custom propagation of ramblers and roses for New York’s Brooklyn Botanic Garden; developed tree rose standards at California’s Rancho Los Alamitos Park; and provided old garden roses to Rancho El Cerrito in Long Beach.
