| Paul Hains, an Australian rose grower and breeder, has written a rose book from the perspective of raising and breeding roses in a subtropical, humid climate. What began as a small, "30 page guide", has morphed into a 172 page book which has just gone to the printers. I'm familiar with Mr. Hains through the Rose Hybridizers Association and respect his skills and abilities. I'm looking forward to being able to obtain his book once it's released. It may be one we should be watching for, particularly those who live and try growing roses in subtropical, humid areas. The title is, Growing Roses in Subtropical Climates, by Paul Hains. I have no information yet as to the release date, but I'm watching for it and thought others might find the information of interest. Kim |

| It will probably give me rose lust for Australian roses we can't get here - hopefully he will mention some that grow here already. Jackie |

| I agree, Jackie. I'll end up wanting something impossible to find! |

| That certainly fills a gap in rose books. It won't be useful to me but useful to many friends. |

| Subtropical and humid? I'm in like Flynn... especially if it comes with a free rose of a sort I can't currently get Stateside. 'Hugo Roller', maybe? Okay, I'm dreaming out loud again, but the book does sound like it would be pertinent to my conditions, and at least some of the recommended roses are likely to be available here, right? Thanks for the heads up, |

| When it is released, it will be announced on his website, including international sales. Kim |
