Texas
Rose Festival
Tyler, Texas |
| The van will leave from the
greenhouse parking lot at 7:00 a.m. on October 12. We will have coffee and
warm muffins ready to take on the bus. Water and soft drinks will be available
in coolers on the van all day. Our tour is limited to 20 people, so make
your reservations early. |
 We
will arrive for a tour at the Yellow Rose Nursery at approximately 10:00.
The Yellow Rose Nursery is owned by Maude Key and her daughter, Floy. They
have been a premier rose supplier for major markets for over 70 years. Their
specialty is yellow roses. You will learn how the roses are planted, cultivated,
and prepared for shipping. |
| After the
tour, we will have lunch at Sue and Cathy's Little Tearoom in Tyler. Sue
and Cathy have an excellent tearoom. People have been known to drive from
Dallas just to have lunch there. They always have fresh rose arrangements
on each table and will make you feel so welcome. The homemade rolls and
rose jelly are their specialties. |
|
After lunch, we will drive to
the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden for the main event. This 14-acre garden
displays over 400 varieties of roses blooming from over 30,000 bushes. You
won't believe it! After the exhibition we will enjoy the Queen's tea and
come home. We expect to arrive by 7:00 p.m. |
