Rose expert to speak to Fallbrook Garden Club

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Garden Club is excited to present a well-known and entertaining speaker in the world of roses, Bob Martin, vice president of the American Rose Society, at its May 31 meeting.

Martin’s interest in roses began after his landscaper planted some, leaving a bemused Martin wondering how best to take care of these supposedly high-maintenance plants. After more than 40 years of growing, breeding, and exhibiting roses, Martin's become one of the world’s foremost rose experts. He’s written thousands of articles about this most famous of flowers, introduced new roses to the market, and showed his flowers all over the globe.

Martin will speak about growing and showing high quality roses. The queen of flowers, as roses are sometimes called, have a reputation for being fussy and high-maintenance. Martin dispels that notion, and with his advice, even a novice gardener can confidently grow gorgeous, show-stopper roses.

The public is welcome to join club members for this talk at Fallbrook Community Center, 341 Heald Ln. Social time and refreshments take place from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m., business meeting from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., and the program with Martin from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Learn more at http://www.fallbrookgardenclub.org.
