  This week on Rose Chat Radio, we welcome Cydney Wade of Rose Petals Nursery. Cydney will be with us to talk about efforts to preserve Old Garden, Heirloom and Heritage variety roses.    Cydney has been growing  and preserving roses for over 36 years and says "There is a past with each Old Garden Rose that you grow. It was taken from a cutting of a rose that was taken from a cutting of a rose all the way back to the original plant. Your rose is a part of a plant that crossed the Atlantic Ocean during the 1800's or crossed America in a covered wagon with a pioneer family taking part of their past to their new home. " She'll be sharing some of these roses as well as offering care tips.
