Voices From The Garden

Dawn Pettinelli, an Extension Educator who blogs for the University of Connecticut's Home & Garden Education Center asks the question, "Who was Dorothy Perkins, and what's she doing in my garden?" Dawn shares with us about this special rose in her garden. Introduced around 1901, the Dorothy Perkins rose became one of the most widely grown roses in the world. Hear how this rose continues to endear itself to gardeners today.
