Speaking and Workshops

I’ve spoken and given workshops on roses all over the United States and even in Italy.  Before turning to roses I spent 15 years as a Stand-Up Comedian, Comedy Writer and Comedy Segment Producer on ABC – performing for crowds from 50 to 5000.  This background coupled with his fresh outlook on rose growing roses make for an energetic, humorous and informative talk.

I’m available for lectures and hands on workshops, the latter running from a few hours to all day. You can email me at paul@paulzimmermanroses.com for discuss what you would like.
