TEXAS ROSE EXTRAVAGANZA SPEAKERS

One of the events that convention registrants may participate in is the full day horticultural seminar that will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2003. Each of our speakers is an expert in their field and we are honored that they have chosen to share their expertise with us.
