So sad that this is so far away from me in No Cal! It sounds like a lot of fun.

Jackie -- YOU can go to the Open Garden at the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden -- that same day.

Also, I hope you will have time to visit us at the National Heirloom Expo, at the Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, Sept. 13, 14, and 15. Clay and I, and others, will be there for Heritage Roses Group. COME VISIT!

For those in SoCal -- we will be back home, and will be at the VCRS day. I'm looking forward to seeing the Quest For The Rose video. Come by, and say "hey." :-)

'The Quest for the Rose' is an outstanding documentary on the origins and development of the rose in a series of six programs of about 28 minutes each. Since its broadcast in 1994, the documentary has not been available for viewing.

Thanks to rosarian Bill Grant, the VCRS has a copy of the program and it will be shown in its entirety over the course of the SEPTEMBER CELEBRATION at the Ventura County Educational Conference Building, 5100 Adolfo Rd in Camarillo on SATURDAY the 24th from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Of Especial significance was the segment on the importance of the original 'stud' roses in China; another segment deals with the development of the 'Peace' rose and its seminal influence in modern roses.

Since the program will be shown, so to speak, all day, you can walk in and out of the segments as your interest waxes and wanes and enjoy the other aspects of the Celebration--rare roses to buy, hundreds of blossoms to admire, personal attention to rose concerns and arrangements, rose artifacts, and a free trial membership in the VCRS if you bring roses to display. Look for the 'September Celebration,' a new polyantha by David Zlesak, named for this event and only for sale therein.

Preemption ends tonight at midnight. If you are in the area, come by on Saturday; you may be surprised by some of the people in attendance. JimD
