Join Peter Mills, BBC radio broadcaster, RHS advisor, and gardening writer, for an informative talk and practical pruning masterclass.

Drawing on his vast 35-year experience in horticulture, Peter will share the theory of rose pruning and growing techniques.

Learn the art of growing all types of roses – from old and modern shrub varieties to climbers and ramblers. This masterclass will enhance your understanding and ensure your own roses perform to their full potential, creating stunning summer displays.

No prior knowledge is required, as we will guide you step by step through the process.
