With over 70 years of combined rose growing experience, Brenda and her husband Joe have nurtured up to 350+ rose plants in their home garden in Zone 10a resulting in winning multiple Pacific Southwest District and National American Rose Society - Horticultural, Photography and Rose Arrangement Design awards and trophies. Two American Rose Society -Queen and King Best of Website Design awards were granted to one of the society websites Brenda designed. She also received several authorship awards for her educational articles publish by the ARS.
Together, Joe and Brenda have served as American Rose Society Horticulture Judges, Consulting Rosarians and are ARS Bronze Medal recipients 2005/2010 for their outstanding service to their local ARS society.
In 2004, 'Lady Bren'©, a beautiful deep pink and white reverse Miniature rose was named in her honor by her husband. Later that year, a clear light to medium pink Miniature rose, 'Chelsea Brittlyn'© was named after their precious daughter.
Gather Ye Rosebuds is a culmination of our love, expression and experience with roses as well as to provide a source of inspiration to educate, share and promote roses in many aspects from fine art and photography to practical solutions in organic rose gardening.
FINE ART +
PHOTOGRAPHY
Bren has been photographing, painting and sculpting rose images from her garden and those from obliging gardens and rose shows since the 1990's. Each rose tells a story of the individual who grew it and nurtured it into its ultimate beauty.
"WOW! Yes, there is no doubt that the indefatigable Brenda Landers-Smith has exhibited her great passion for roses yet again by designing the top rose society web site in the country. The accolades from all over the USA are clear testimony to her volunteer spirit and sincere commitment. Such high energy deserves our combined appreciation and recognition. Brenda you are indeed a winner!"
