41 minutes

Mike Shoup: Heritage Rose Foundation President

On this episode of the Rose Chat Podcast, Host Teresa Byington is joined by Mike Shoup, horticulturalist, garden writer, founder of the Antique Rose Emporium, and currently the Heritage Rose Foundation President. Mike’s passion for all plants began in childhood, but this passion took on a new life when he found himself “schooled by an old rose.”

Throughout his life, Mike has dedicated himself to rediscovering the beauty and diversity of these antique beauties and helping them find their way back to home gardens. On this episode you’ll find yourself charmed by these “Empresses of the Garden” and learn how they can fit into any landscape.
