Hello Rosarians!
Quick question. I have the Botanica's Rose Book (2000 roses), big book, yellow rose on cover. I don't have it with me at this moment so I can't be exact but the last publication was, I believe, 2000. It is already outdated. All the roses for the last 10 years are not (obviously) included. Does anyone know when the next revision is scheduled to come out?

Outdated? Already? Dear me. Doesn't the time fly.
Isn't it wonderful that HelpMeFind is never outdated.

Just wondering if any articles have been written on the roses that have been planted on children's graves. Here in South Australia I have found a miniature china and the Orleans Rose on children's graves. Has this topic appeared in any rose books?

Hi, Mooserman,
One excellent source of information is local rose nurseries like Great Lakes Roses, which has a good website with information directed to Michigan gardeners. Check their web page on HMF: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=17.3604
Local rose societies often have excellent local information about modern roses. Here are their websites:
http://www.ars.org/Districts/great_lakes.html
Also check the eZine page and search for subjects that concern or interest you.
For really general rose information, I like Roses For Dummies. Try the library because after one read, you might want something else for your bookshelf at home. You must be careful about filtering everything you read through your Michigan climate. It does matter.
The American Rose Society has articles online at ars.org, although I don't know how many are geared toward cold climate rosing.
That should get you started. The key to growing good roses is selecting the right roses for your climate and gardening conditions. Good luck!

Hello Cass,
Thank you for leading me down the right rose path! The mistakes that were made are being corrected. I was glad to see we have a rose society, I'm going to next months meeting to see if that would be something that would interest me. One step closer to identifying the rose, I know it's yellow due to my very first bloom. Thanks again for all the help.
