Members of the Robson Ranch Garden Club met and carpooled to the Gemini Peach and Rose Farm on April 15, 2019, in Denton, Texas. Mr. Jim Herbison, a consulting rosarian certified by the American Rose Society who has an unwavering dedication towards growing beautiful roses and producing new varieties. He has over 1,000 rose bushes and anyone is welcome to take a self-guided tour.

Although the unpredictable weather delayed the blooming of the roses, Jim did give pointers on how to deal with rose rosette and how to hybridize new varieties of roses.
