Kevin Green joins us this week to talk about Sarasota Florida's most stunning rose gardens. "Mable Ringling cherished roses. Her rose garden was completed in 1913 before any development took place on the 66-acre Ringling estate. Once the garden was established, Sarasota felt like home to Mable and she and John built their dream home, the Cà d’Zan mansion, and the Museum of Art in Sarasota. She was also the founder and first president of the Sarasota Garden Club."     (Ringling Museum Press Release Apr 3 , 2004] http://www.ringling.org/ Geri Laufer will be with us to talk about Herbs & Roses, The Language of flowers and Tussie Mussies!  http://gardengeri.com/ We'll also have continuing coverage of the Biltmore International Rose Trials with Paul Zimmerman and others.  http://www.PaulZimmermanRoses.com http://www.Biltmore.com

Now as the roses spring forward and buds of known and unknown beauties form, I find the old excitement rising, filling me with wonder. The old world goes oft awry, but there is always the comfort of the garden."  Miriam Wilkins
