East Providence Residents to Speak at American Rose Society National Convention
Posted
East Providence authors and rosarians, Mike and Angelina Chute, will be speaking at the American Rose Society National Convention on Sept 9 at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Warwick. The Chutes will present their program, “The Brownells: American Rose Pioneers” which focuses on the Rhode Island hybridizers Walter and Josephine Brownell. The Brownells, who developed almost 100 rose varieties in both their Little Compton nursery and Brightridge Dairy Greenhouses in East Providence, were known for their Sub-Zero© roses that were sold throughout the United States from the 1930’s through the 1960’s.
The Convention is open to the public. To find out more information and how to register, visit www.seaofroses.org.
