Tuesday Gardening Series: Real Roses, Real Stories: Lessons from the Rose Garden

Location: Reynolda House Auditorium

Cost: $5 Attendee | Free for Friends of Reynolda Gardens and WFU students and employees

Join members of the Winston-Salem Rose Society for an honest look at both the triumphs and train wrecks of growing roses in our region. A panel of experienced rosarians will share real-life examples of what has worked, what has failed spectacularly, and what they’ve learned along the way.

You’ll leave with practical tips, favorite varieties, and encouragement to keep experimenting in your own garden.


The Tuesday Gardening Series is held in-person in the Reynolda House Auditorium or online via Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to all participants the morning of the event; please be sure to check your spam folder for the email.

Volunteer at Rose Pruning Clinics

Put your newfound knowledge to the test and assist the Gardens staff with seasonal pruning clinics. It’s the perfect way to help beautiful the formal gardens while learning the ins and outs of caring for your own roses.

Clinics are held Thursday, March 19 and Friday, March 20 from 10 a.m. to noon.
