My photography book, "ROSES IN PORTAITURE," took me a year of taking hundreds of photos showing roses growing through their seasons. Only about forty photos made the cut; it was really hard to leave some out! The gorgeous roses in this book are all highly rated and selected by me to perform well in most organic rose gardens. Click on the photo above (it's a "Just Joey") to go to the printer's website and then click the "PREVIEW" link to see some of these professional pictures of roses.

Workshop participants: Scroll down this page and Click on the DOWNLOAD icons for my latest lecture notes on Roses and other free downloads. New lecture notes from Rose Workshops will be posted as soon as they are edited. Most likely in one or two days.

"Bare-Root to Blooms!" folks: Click here to see my sketches of correct pruning cuts, and a bare-root rose planting diagram.

Most interesting questions: #1--"Isn't it very hard to grow roses using organic methods?" Answer: 'It is very, very easy if you follow the Nine Rules of Organic Roses in my new book.'
#2--"Will my bare-root rose bloom this year?" My answer is, 'Very happily, yes!'
