Southampton Rose Society Rose Planting and Pruning Session
with Rosarian Peter Bertrand

Rogers Memorial Library Rose Garden
Saturday, April 11, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm

Please join the Southampton Rose Society as it hosts its annual Rose Planting and Pruning Session to welcome spring and jumpstart its event season. Noted rosarian Peter Bertrand will demonstrate the fundamentals of planting and pruning a variety of rose bushes, including climbers, on the grounds of the Rogers Memorial Library in the Rose Garden on Saturday, April 11, 2026 from 10am to 12pm.

Peter will also discuss fertilization, soil management, proper watering techniques, and happily answer any rose-related questions. No registration is required for this ever-popular, hands-on session created to make rose gardening accessible for all. Take-home instructional pamphlets will be given to all participants.

The rose is the official flower of the United States, New York State, and our beloved Southampton Village.
