Art Drysdale is one of Canada’s best-known horticulturists. For the past four decades he has been writing, and presenting radio and television broadcasts. He now lives on Vancouver Island, but continues to host his own gardening programme on AM740 Primetime Radio covering most of southern Ontario. In addition, from March to November Art is seen regularly, with daily gardening tips on Canada’s Weather Network. He was also a contributor/horticultural editor to/of Plant & Garden for 11 of the 13 years of that national magazine’s existence.


The Canadian Rose Society, along with his many fans, is delighted to welcome Art Drysdale back to Toronto to give the 10th Annual Goulding Memorial Lecture. He will be speaking on What's Ahead in Rose Gardening: much more fragrance, true blue roses, thornless bushes, faster development of new cultivars, greater hardiness and improved disease and insect resistance!


The Goulding Memorial Lecture is an annual gift from the family of the late Dun (Dunlop) Goulding to the members of the Canadian Rose Society and other rose lovers across Canada. It has allowed us to present talks by some of the most prominent rosarians in the world, and has been held in Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Calgary and Vancouver. A video of each lecture is made available at cost for those who are unable to attend.


This year’s lecture will be as outstanding as those of the past, so plan to attend. Refreshments will be served after the lecture and Art will be available to answer questions.


Admission to the Goulding Memorial Lecture is free to all members of the Canadian Rose Society and $12.00 to members of the public.

OBITUARY


We are sorry to report the passing of The Honourable Mr. Justice Milton A. Cadsby at his home on July 8, 2004.  Actively involved in the CRS for many years, Milton was President in 1966 and 1967 and again in 1973 and 1974.  In recognition of his dedication and service, when he retired from the Board of Directors he was named as our first Honourary President.  Milton was also the first Secretary of the World Federation of Rose Societies and was instrumental in bringing the Canadian Rose Society into the WFRS.  We extend our sincere sympathy to his wife Maxine and to his family.
