Rose Arranging with Carolyn Parker

 

On October 16, we are going to party with roses-- all day long!

We will admire them, giggle and gossip about them-- and most of all

play with them.

Join me at the beautiful Sacramento Marina for a rose arranging seminar !
The day begins with scones, coffee and tea at 9:00 a.m. We'll have demos in the morning, and then a fab lunch at noon. After lunch, there will be hands-on play with roses and pretty vases, then more demos until we can no longer lift another rose stem.


All the photos in this post were taken last fall at the Sacramento Old City Cemetery. I'm donating my time for this seminar to benefit the Cemetery and its world-renown collection of old garden roses.
Seminar attendees are invited to join us on Friday, the day before the seminar, to harvest roses from the cemetery. Oh, I can't wait, we'll be working with the best possible roses.

Here I am at the end of the day, ready to head back to the Bay Area. Notice those roses in the back seat? They're the bouquet roses shown above. The next day, they regrouped and appeared in a blog. Click here for a look.
Two days later, cuttings of those roses ended up in the ground, and now, almost a year later, I have plants of the treasured roses.
You will go home with a rose bouquet of your own making-- and just think of the possibilities . . .
My darling blog friends, from all over the world, how I wish you could join us. If you can come, please do !http://www.rosenotes.com/2010/08/rose-arranging-with-carolyn-parker.html
