If I didn’t already have plans this weekend, I would be dragging my family to the 7th Annual Garden Festival of Roses at the Antique Rose Emporium in San Antonio. By the way, it was from the owner Mike Shoup’s rose book, Landscaping with Antique Roses (no longer in print) where I (re)discovered my passion for roses and learned how to propagate and double my collection. He will also be teaching the art of propagating at this event – Saturday at 10am. The Festival is a kid-friendly event.
