Rose Rosette Disease Workshop
August 21, 2017
This workshop attracted consulting rosarians, landscape architects and designers, landscape contractors and rose enthusiasts and was structured to inform participants about how the disease is spread and identified as well as the latest research and methods by which the disease can be managed. The afternoon began with KCRS board members Dr. Glenn Hodges and Laura Dickinson giving overviews of rose growing and classification and featured Drs. Mark Windham, Raymond Cloyd, and David Zlesak, three nationally recognized experts in the study of the disease, who provided participants with the most current research and management practices on Rose Rosette. The workshop attracted nearly 60 participants who were able to receive continuing education credits for their specific disciplines. By coincidence, the workshop happened to occur during the same time of the near total solar eclipse in Kansas City.  In an effort to allow everyone the opportunity to see the spectacle, Judy Penner of the KC Parks Department provided those in attendance with a guided tour of the rose garden immediately preceding the total solar eclipse.  Clear skies and a beautiful setting made the perfect venue from which to view the event.
