Dear XXXXX:

 The Public Garden Committee of All-America Rose Selections recently held its annual meeting.  At that time, the committee reviewed the current status and evaluations of all accredited gardens.

The evaluation of your garden indicated that the condition has continued to decline since the warning letter sent previously.  The evaluation noted that the garden overall was in poor condition, and that AARS roses could not be found in the garden.   

Because this evaluation noted continued decline of the garden even after the warning letter sent previously, the committee has decided to put the garden on probation status for one year.  In the meantime, the committee requests a further written explanation of the problems for its consideration at its next meeting in July.

 We look forward to your reply. If you have any questions please contact me at 415-348-2735 or rapplint@ruderfinnswitzer.com.

 Best regards,

Tracy Rapplin
