Dan Rott, a former Dixon teacher and principal, has become an expert rose gardener in retirement and offered a pruning class recently to the Dixon Women's Improvement Club members and spouses. The Dixon Women's Improvement Club established the rose garden on the corner of North A and C Streets a few years ago and has a committee of volunteers that regularly maintain it for the public.
