          The Elevation Of Old Garden Roses

Our speaker for  the April meeting is David Zlesak. David is a Professor of Horticultural at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. A well-known speaker throughout the rose world and industry, he has published many articles on various topics related to roses in journals, magazines and professional publications. A rose hybridizing program dedicated  to bringing winter hardy and disease resistant roses to the rose industry is one of his passions. Oso Happy Candy Oh, Petit Pink, Pretty Poly Pink, White and Lavender are a few of his roses in commerce. The Northern Garden Earthkind trials were  chaired by him. He is involved in the University of Minnesota blackspot research program. At his home in River Falls, Wisconsin he maintains a  research garden of over 2000 roses – most of which are his own hybrids. Little Devil Ninebark and a tall ageratum are also his hybrids. Entertaining and knowledgeable, David is always a great speaker. Don’t miss him on April 11 at 7:30 on Zoom.
