The Baton Rouge Botanic Garden Foundation will host a FREE Garden Discoveries event, How to Select Roses for Your Garden, led by Sheldon Johnson of the Baton Rouge Rose Society at 10 a.m. on Saturday, January 11, 2025.With thousands of commercially available rose bushes, there are many options for roses to have a place in your garden. Beautiful roses vary from small patio roses to enormous fast-growing ramblers. To choose the best ones for your garden there are many considerations for them to meet your needs and for them to thrive. You may want a strategically placed rose within a mixed garden, a mass planting of the same variety or even dozens of varieties together to show off in a rose garden. You may only have room for a few roses in containers or you may want one to cover the entire side of your house. Come learn the possibilities.Weather permitting a tour will follow of the Baton Rouge Botanic Gardens adjacent to the Library. Registration is recommended. Please visit our online events calendar to register for this event.
