400+ volunteers prune 4,000 roses in 90 minutes

Wow what a successful Annual Pruning event in America's Best Rose Garden! Over 400 volunteers pruned 4,000 rosebushes in 90 minutes. All ages and abilities snipped and clipped. Our quick and easy method of "Pruning for Maximum Display" meant volunteers without previous experience could participate, and help get the job done.

Thanks to all who participated. And thank you to our generous sponsors. The first 300 volunteers received a free bare root rose courtesy of Star Roses, over 200 Chinook books (value $20) were given to volunteers, and other prizes included (drumroll please, or should I say airhorn?) numerous pairs of San Jose Sharks hockey tickets plus parking passes (chomp! chomp!) and products from Dr. Earth organics.

Thank you San Jose Sharks, City of San Jose, Star Roses, Chinook Book, Summer Winds Nursery and Dr. Earth for your generosity.

And thank you to all our fabulous volunteers!
