Participate with the Lake Superior Rose Society in their annual event of ‘Tipping The Tender Roses’ at Leif Erikson Rose Garden (LERG), located at 1300 London Road, Duluth, MN. The event will be held Saturday, October 24th from 9 am to noon. The public is welcome to help/learn, and you can always come earlier that morning as some of the City staff start earlier around 7 am. Stay later or as long as you’re able to help. Bring a friend, a garden fork, gloves and wear layers along with your LSRS logo apparel – vest, shirt, and/or cap if you’re an LSRS member.

It’s time put the roses to bed for their winter nap!
Using the traditional Minnesota Tip Method, we’ll gently lift and tip the bushes to guide them down to be buried under a layer of dirt for Winter. If you don’t know or haven’t done this before, we have seasoned members who will show you how to tip the roses and why we do this.

It’s a hands-on tradition that ensures our most delicate roses thrive in the North. Grab your gloves and help us put the Rose Garden to sleep!

The next meeting will be February 1, 2027.

Please welcome the newest club of the Duluth Garden Flower Society!

Welcome to the Duluth Clivia Group

We are a small group of plant enthusiasts who share a passion for clivia, a member of the amaryllis family (You will love clivia if you grow amaryllis! ). Although we are just getting started, we hope to grow a community of people interested in learning about and enjoying these unique, beautiful plants.

Clivia are elegant yet resilient houseplants. They prefer bright, indirect light, as direct sun can scorch their leaves. Thanks to extensive breeding efforts, clivia now come in a wide range of colors and forms. Mature plants are drought-tolerant and can go weeks with minimal care, making them both beautiful and easy to maintain.

Clivia are generally easier to grow. They adapt to most well-drained potting mixes. Even when not in bloom, their lush green foliage makes an attractive addition to any space.

Clivia can be propagated by division or grown from seed. Their large seeds are easy to handle and can develop into mature plants with patience.
