VIRTUAL ZOOM PRESENTATIONS

All our programs are now available
via Zoom as an alternative to
in-person presentations

We are Mike and Angie Chute and have been growing roses for over twenty-five years in our East Providence, Rhode Island garden. We have presented gardening programs, lectures and seminars at such venues as the Boston, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Newport Flower Shows as well as the University of Rhode Island Master Garden programs and NBC10’s Plant Pro. We also speak at numerous garden clubs and other organizations throughout the Northeast.

As a way to reach more home gardeners and landscape professionals, we started RoseSolutions, a landscape consulting company that offers educational programs, workshops, seminars and consulting services on rose horticulture. To further our goal of reaching every gardener who wants to know more about rose gardening, we have established this web site: www.RoseSolutions.net

Most of our non-gardening time is spent traveling, both domestically and abroad, and we often share these travels on our blog.
