Supporting cast gets the spotlight

Like any supporting cast, the companion plants for a rose often get

overlooked. But a session at Descanso Gardens on Saturday puts them

in the spotlight.

Rosarium Horticulturist Wen P. Wang will lead a class on companion

plants at Descanso Gardens at 10 a.m. Saturday, looking at ground

covers, annuals, perennials and shrubs that live in harmony with

roses and complement them aesthetically.

The session will be in the Rose Pavilion at Descanso Gardens, 1418

Descanso Drive. Admission is $6, $4 for seniors and students, $1.50

for children younger than 12 and free for children younger than 5.

For information, call 949-7980.
