Miscellaneous Links "Tony's Gold" is the new website from my friend Tony Denton showing his initial efforts at hybridizing. It is still in the early stages of construction and features mainly miniature roses. *NEW* "Country-Flowers" is a website by Rolf Sievers, a hybridizer friend in Germany. He has been hybridizing roses for over 30 years and lately has begun hybridizing Lilies. Mostly written in German, but some English descriptions for varieties. "Organic Rose Gardening" is a website devoted to supplying tips, tricks and advice on growing roses the organic way, without using harmful chemicals. "Home & Garden Construction Pro" is a website that generously offers, in their words, a free booklet called "The Gardening Manual".

Worth a look! "Daves Garden" is a website "For Gardeners... by gardeners" with discussion forums, a massive plant database with huge numbers of images and much more!
"Old Garden Roses and Beyond" is a very comprehensive web site by Paul Barden. It is one of the most informative rose related web sites that I have ever come across. Paul Barden's April 2002 Edition of 'Old Garden Roses and Beyond' features an article I wrote about my hybridizing career. Review of 'Glowing Amber' by Paul Barden. "The Rosebank Letter" tells all about this Canadian rose bimonthly (my favorite Canadian rose publication), its subscription rates, articles and its editor and publisher. "RoseShow.com" is Bob Martin's page with up-to-date U.S. rose show information and many interesting links. "CybeRose & Bulbs" is Karl King's web page from California. A very interesting web site which is not only about roses and hybridizing, but also features many other ornamental plants as well. There is also a wealth of information about Genetics and Heredity. Check it out... "www.creative-native.com" is singer, songwriter and artist Buffy Sainte-Marie's own web site.

"Sublime Photography by Mike Mander" is my son's web site showcasing his photography of B.C., Oregon, Utah and Arizona. He loves the Desert Southwest and has travelled there often over the years. "Google" is simply
the best Internet search engine that I have ever used. If it's
out there, Google will find it! Of course, I'm sure you already
knew about it...
