Rose Email group AU & NZ

Posted by peplill (My Page) on

I was looking around to join a rose email list/group and found there were only groups based in the US or UK. One thing I have learned on the forum is that growing roses in Australia may not be the same as other places.
Since I have started other Yahoo email lists/groups before...
I started another group on Yahoo
Roses Australia and New Zealand

I will likely turn it over to someone else (who would know more than me)if there is a interest and it becomes a well used list. You can post to the group, either receive the group posts directly or go to the site and read them, post pictures, chat and there is a place for files and data bases to be made.

I also welcomed supplies/growers to advertize as long as they were from AU or NZ. I will make a file for suppliers/growers to list their contact information or web sites.

To join you go to the web site
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RosesAUNZ/
click Join and follow the directions. If you have trouble email me directly at pep-lill@bigpond.com and I can add you to the group.

Would anyone like to donate a lovely photograph of a rose for the home page?

RE: Rose Email group AU & NZ

This is a truly amazing post Deb. I could see, from reqading it that you have only been a GW member for a very short time. There was a time, only recently, when use of the "Y" word (see I still can't bring myself to use it, given the trouble it has caused me in the past) put you in Garden Web solitary confinement for several months. Now you can use it several times in one post, and even include an e-mail address!
This is truly the dawning of a new era for Garden Web under it's new ownership! LOL
Best of luck with your new e-mail group Deb!
Cheers, Jan (who spent 3 months in Disneyland in 2004)

I really have no idea what you are talking about.

If listing other areas on the web for information exchange and conversation about roses is against the rules or culture of this forum, I appologies for my indiscretion.

No Deb it isn't (apparently) any more. I didn't mean to give you the wrong idea. We used to have to watch ourselved very carefully with the previous Garden Web owners. (this exchange is owned by Village, as in the cinema chain - nothing is free on the net)
I have tried to do exactly as you have done, and in the past it was not possible to even mention the "Y" word. You would be transferred to the Disney web site, and would find yourself removed from the GW forums indefinitely.
Things have clearly improved in that area atleast, and it is good that we can be much more open here and share in new developments such as yours. The forums should be about sharing gardening information after all.
There are very few Aus based forums or e-groups.
I am one of the moderators of Austgardens, a similar group to yours, but for general gardening. It spends a lot of time in the doldrums unfortunately, where Garden Web seems to get much more traffic.
Cheers, Jan
