In Houston, May is usually our last month of nice weather before the outside temperatures soar above 100F. We are fortunate to have Lou Pavlovich share his 40 years of scientific knowledge and experience with growing award winning roses in a high heat climate like Houston. He has won over 120 Queen of Shows and numerous challenge class trophies!

Lou and his wife, Diane, live in Tucson, Arizona where temperatures stay higher than 110F for six months out of the year. Prior to 2000, they grew over 250 roses and when they moved to a new home their garden was scaled back to 50 roses grown in pots due to terrible soil conditions. Lou will share his techniques of using shade cloth to reduce temperatures while continuing to fertilize and water during the high temperature months.

Lou is the former Consulting Rosarian Chairman for the Pacific Southwest District; former President and Editor for the Rose Society of Tucson; and has been involved with several American Rose Society national committees over the years. He currently manages the Rose Society of Tucson’s website and has also authored many award winning articles on growing roses.

Consulting Rosarians who attend this meeting will receive one hour of continuing education credit. CRs will be required to sign a registration form at the meeting or email president@houstonrose.org prior to the meeting with their name, email address, and name of your rose society if outside HRS in order to receive credit.
