Fall is known for beautiful roses and this year there is something new on the rose scene in the City. The Dallas Rose Society will begin regularly meeting in Farmers Branch, beginning with their September 28 meeting. The DRS meets on the fourth Friday of every month with refreshments at 6:30 pm and the program starting at 7. The Farmers Branch Community Recreation Center will host the meetings at 14050 Heartside Place.

The September 28 program will be “A Hands-On Clinic on Exhibiting Roses,” in preparation for the DRS Fall Rose Show to be held at the Farmers Branch Senior Center, October 13 from 1 until 4 p.m. City Landscape Manager Pam Smith said that the free admission program and show are both excellent opportunities to pick up some helpful hints so that residents can exhibit blossoms from their home garden in October.
