Of course, there are pruning demonstrations all over Southern California in January, but few of them in Ventura Co., and only one that is sponsored by a Rose Society, and is free.
As a bonus, this demo is principally directed toward Old Garden Roses -- tho Moderns are also covered.

Soooooo . . .

We are fortunate enough to have, in Ventura County, a garden of historic roses -- at the Stagecoach Inn, located in Newbury Park, CA.

Because this garden flourishes, we are able to do pruning demonstrations for Old Roses -- something that doesn't happen in many places and is, I think, unique in SOUTHERN California.

Here's the info:
