The Editor
A Bradford garden centre is hosting a rose pruning masterclass with one of the country’s leading names in roses later this month.
On Tuesday, 24th February, an expert from the long-established, family-owned rose breeder David Austin Roses will be in The Mezzanine at Tong Garden Centre at 10 am and 2 pm for hands-on rose pruning and expert rose care advice sessions.
“February is the perfect time to prune roses, and this session will equip you with all the skills you need to tackle your pruning with confidence,” said Yorkshire Garden Centres’ Commercial Plant Manager, Marc Salama.
“Due to demand for the morning session, we have decided to host an afternoon session too. The audience will enjoy a two and a half hour Q&A session and practical masterclass plus delicious refreshments.”
Tickets cost £65 and include the masterclass, a Q&A session, a David Austin rose for the practical session, and refreshments. There will also be the opportunity to win a Sir David Beckham rose, which launches to the public at RHS Chelsea in May.
Tong Garden Centre occupies a 19-acre site in Tong village. It is part of the Yorkshire Garden Centres (YGC) family which also owns Tingley, Otley, Bingley, York, Scarborough and Pennine Garden Centres.
