The Barnegat branch of the Ocean County Library will host “How to Grow Beautiful Roses” on Monday, May 11 at 10:30 a.m. This talk will take you through the life of a rose, from spring to winter, detailing the important steps every rosarian must follow to guarantee beautiful roses.

Roses have the undeserved reputation of being difficult to grow. Although they’re not difficult, roses require attention, and they’re actually quite easy if you follow a few general maintenance requirements.
