Location of RRS Events in Idlewild Park

The Reno Rose Society hosts two major events every year in Idlewild Park.

The first is our annual Rose Pruning Demonstration which will be Saturday, March 28, 2009 from at 11 AM to 2:30 PM in the Reno Municipal Rose Garden, east of the California Building in Idlewild Park. This is a great opportunity for residents to learn proper rose pruning techniques for a variety of different type roses. Admission is free.

The second event is our Annual Rose Show which will be June 13, 2009. In addition to the show there will be a flower show, arrangement competition, art show, wine tasting, luncheon, and raffle. For information, go to our Show Page or call (775) 791-0777.
