The Lake Superior Rose Society and the Duluth parks staff hosted the annual rose tipping event at the Leif Erikson Rose Garden. 

Expert rose tippers taught volunteers the Minnesota Tip method, which involves digging a trench by the rose, tipping the rose into the trench, and completely burying the plant in the dirt.

Rose tipping protects the roses during the harsh winter.
