“Care of Roses, pruning and taking cuttings”
Jason spoke to us in February 2023 (“Garden Facts and Folklore”) and we are delighted to welcome him back to speak to us again on the care of roses, including pruning and taking cuttings.
Jason is the owner of Fraser Valley Rose Farm on Nicomen Island, a nursery specializing in those unique, hard-to-find, and historical
varieties of roses that are no longer readily available on the market.
Jason attended the Kwantlen Polytechnic University greenhouse production programme and was the head grower at Valleybrook gardens growing perennials, herbs, veggies and a wide variety of other crops before starting his own business. He now has a rose farm where he sells heritage roses and other rose varieties which are freely available for propagation.
Jason is also active on Youtube, producing videos aimed at inspiring and sharing knowledge with backyard growers, budding rosarians, and garden enthusiasts of all kinds.
