Come Tip the Roses at the Rose Garden
 
[Duluth, MN] - The public is invited to join Duluth Parks staff and the Lake Superior Rose Society in the annual Tipping of the Roses at the Leif Erikson Rose Garden.  The open, community events will be held on Saturday, October 18 from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM and Tuesday, October 21 from 3:00 PM- 6:00 PM.
 
Whether you are experienced at the task or just want to learn, expert rose tippers will be on hand to teach volunteers the Minnesota Tip Method, a process that protects tender roses from the harsh conditions of a typical Duluth winter.
 
Rose Tipping is an “all ages, no experience needed” event. Groups, families, and individuals are invited to attend. If you are interested in participating, please arrive at the Rose Garden, located between 12th and 13th Avenue East and London Road, on the day of the event. Check-in with Duluth Parks staff.  Free parking is available in the lot between Valentini’s and the Rose Garden. Dress for the weather.  All tools and supplies will be provided, including work gloves. 
 
Time and dates are subject to change due to weather conditions.  Please visit our Facebook page or contact Cheryl Skafte at 218-730-4334 or cskafte@duluthmn.gov  for up-to-date information on the Rose Tipping events.
