We discussed English Roses with Michael Marriott, who is the senior rosarian with David Austin Roses — the UK’s preeminent supplier of specialized English Roses. Relaxed and at ease with his subject, Michael is able to meaningfully compare and contrast various rose types, species, pruning techniques, and more, and can tell you from memory the color and scent properties of countless varieties. Michael joined our program live by phone from jolly old England.
Edie Tanem has her list and she’s checked it twice; we have gardening events, pruning demos, and more up and down the length and breadth of the Bay Area. And then we have calls — lots of calls — about gardening, with America’s Happy Gardener on the set!
