Ray Rogers

Ray Rogers, a lifelong gardener, began his career in public horticulture. He worked at the Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia and at the American Horticultural Society’s headquarters at River Farm in Alexandria, Virginia. Those positions furthered his interest in the horticultural press and led to his position of Senior Editor at Dorling Kindersley Publishing. Currently a freelance author and public speaker, Ray continues to pursue his horticultural interests as a home gardener, as an amateur hybridizer of Hippeastrum (amaryllis), and as a major horticultural exhibitor at the Philadelphia Flower Show.

Ray Rogers is coauthor of The Philadelphia Flower Show: Celebrating 175 Years and author of Pots in the Garden. His Coleus: Rainbow Foliage for Containers and Gardens is scheduled to publish in 2008.
