How I Started with Roses: My parents grew a few roses when I was growing up in San Francisco and I remember cross pollinating of few of them as a teenager. I didn't seriously grow roses until I bought two tree roses from Longs Drugs in 1986, and planted them in rocky soil in the front of my house. Two roses looked lonely so I bought 9 more and joined the American Rose Society to find out how to take care of them. A few months later I found the Marin Rose Society and began exhibiting within a year - Joseph Klima was my mentor. In 2002, I re-discovered hybridizing and found it to be a full-time, year long passion!
