Meet the new "Staff" members!

Northland Rosarium proudly announces the addition of two new Staff Members. Meet George (on the right) and Gracie. This delightful pair will be part of the entertainment staff as well as Night Security for those 4-footed, uninvited guests! Please come and meet this lively pair who have us in stitches with their antics such as making themselves at home in the basket of gloves in our Sales Cottage! What a Pair!

Roses, Roses and more Roses!


These two roses, Golden Celebration and Hot Cocoa were blooming side by side in the greenhouse and color combination caught my eye. I think Julia Child and Hot Cocoa would be striking companions in the garden.

The roses are ready in the greenhouse



Two pictures from the greenhouse this week: Eternal Flame (glowing yellow) and Abbaye de Cluny (soft apricot). The roses are healthy and blooming and bursting out of their pots! They really need a home in someone's garden. We have over 350 different varieties. Come and see us and give one of these fabulous roses a home.

April Pruning Seminar





Spokane Rose Society held a pruning seminar here on Saturday. There were 40 plus people in the garden and we had a very informative day. Heather Figg, Loren Moll and Lynn Schafer did the actual pruning and they had their work cut out for them. Heather and Loren tackled a big rugosa called Conrad F. Meyer and a large climber called Collete. Lynn gave a demonstration on a Hybrid Tea's with some good information on tools and gloves. Lynn is available as a Master Rosarium to answer your questions about pruning. Check out the Spokane Rose Society at www.geocities.com/spokanerosesociety for Lynn Schafer's phone and other Master Rosarium's. Heather and Loren can be reached at 509-448-1436 to help you with your pruning questions. Many thanks to these hardworking Rosariums.
