Everything is coming up roses when 嘿嘿视频 hosts its third annual Rose Day seminar and sales, April 30 and May 1.

Available for sale will be All-America Rose Selection winners, rose varieties to be released in 2011 and classic rose varieties.

Organizers said the seminar will cover best management practices for establishing and caring for roses. Topics include rose propagation, pruning, budding and grafting, and pest identification and management.

鈥淲e鈥檙e excited about this popular workshop鈥檚 new hands-on format,鈥 said Melissa Borel, program representative with the California Center for Urban Horticulture. 鈥淲hether you鈥檙e new to roses or a seasoned veteran, we鈥檙e sure you鈥檒l gain something interesting from the workshop to apply in your own home garden.鈥

Rose Day is part of the center鈥檚 Your Sustain-able Back Yard series of educational events, designed to deliver knowledge to Master Gardeners, rosarians and others who can share the information with the gardening public.

The $45 registration fee includes lunch and a tour of the university鈥檚 eight-acre rose garden and the new All-America Rose Selections garden testing site, only the third one in California.

All-America Rose Selections is a nonprofit association dedicated to the introduction and promotion of exceptional roses. Thirty new rose varieties, as yet unnamed, are growing in the 嘿嘿视频 test garden. These include hybrid teas, floribundas, landscape, grandifloras and climbing roses.

Rose Day is presented by the California Center for Urban Horticulture, Master Gardener program, Foundation Plant Services and the Garden Rose Council.
