hallo.

I am from South Africa. can you give me informasion to become a consulting rosarian. I read about the consulting rosarian school pond house at Elizabeth Park in hartford, Connecticut.

The ARS puts out a publication called "Consulting Rosarians Manual" full of information on rose cultivation, diseases etc. as well as the particulars of being a consulting rosarian. how can i get this publication.

I love the history of roses. I want to know all about roses. I also read many books etc. can jou help me.

I dont know if there is a rosarian school here in South Africa. I dont think so. if you have a e,mail adress of a school in south africa or rosarians.

please send it for me. I am Afrikaans.

Thank you for your time,

Maria Myburgh

Hello,

I will try to point you in the right direction. The American Rose Society has a webpage at http://www.ars.org/Crs/for_crs.htm for consulting rosarians. There is an applicant form there to become a consulting rosarian but it requires signatures of two other consulting rosarians. There is a world federation of rose societies. I found the link from the American Rose Society at http://www.worldrose.org/.I discovered that they have a webpage for the Rose Society of South Africa at http://www.ludwigsroses.co.za, so this is probably a group for you to get involved with if you want to. They have a schedule listed on the World Federation webpage.
