Speakers

Our Keynote speaker -Helga Brichet from Italy- will speak about her collection of "Roses from Distant Lands which have found a Happy Home in Italy". Helga has a wonderful collection from all around the world (including Alister Clarks) and is well qualified to share with us her extensive knowledge of historic roses.

The Tea Rose Group from WA have been researching Tea roses for a number of years. Their forthcoming book 'Tea Roses, Old Roses for Warm Gardens' is the first book solely about Tea roses for 100 years - details can be found at www.rosenbergpub.com.au. We are delighted that we will be able to learn more about these wonderful roses at the conference. Lynne Chapman will be their presenter but we are delighted the six "Tea Bag Ladies" -as we fondly know them  -will be attending.
