Important! The Nation's Best

With apologies, we neglected to include the contribution of our friend and rose expert Beverly Rose Hopper.

Beverly is Co-Founder with Terry Reilly of the Friends of the San Jose Rose Garden and is the horticultural expert and organizer of special events coordinating the promotion of 935 volunteers who pruned the entire 4,000 rosebush garden in one hour - this was a special tie-in with Disney.  Another event was the first corporate volunteer event with Google.

 

In addition Beverly manages the Facebook Fan page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Friends-of-the-San-Jose-Rose-Garden/235541280577 and a blog of rose tips http://friendssjrosegarden.blogspot.com/

 

Beverly has been a tireless champion of all things Rose. She is an award winning Master Rosarian and Horticultural Rose Judge. She has made numerous television and radio appearances and is a frequent lecturer on rose culture.

We are also proud in having Beverly as our resident columnist for our newsletter!
