A THORNY AFFAIR
Gather your roses
Gardeners who grow roses are invited to show them off at the “Old Garden Rose Show” on Sunday. Sponsored by the Denver Rose Society, this event is in Mitchell Hall at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Invited varieties include old garden roses, hybrid teas, floribundas, miniatures and more. Those who don’t know the names of their roses can get help identifying them from Society members. Rose entries will be accepted Sunday from 7:30 to 9 a.m., and the event will be open to the public from 9 to 4 p.m. Mile-Hi Rose Feed products will be for sale, as well as the Denver Rose Society’s own root roses from High Country Roses in Utah. For more information, visit , or call 303-691-2790.
