FIND THAT ROSE! QUESTIONNAIRE<br />
(The question asked in the 23rd Edition)<br />
The future format of Find That Rose!<br />
<strong>THE</strong> RESULT<br />
Thank all of you who took the trouble to respond to the questionnaire of preferred<br />
format for Find That Rose! Not surprisingly all who answered favoured the hard copy.<br />
Whilst technology moves on, I understand from your comments many do not have a<br />
Computer or prefer to have a leisurely look at a BOOK.<br />
I however have to be realistic that many people “search the net” to find all their<br />
information now days. When it comes to finding roses in the <strong>UK</strong> via the web things have<br />
been sadly lacking. Equally up to now all sites are in general derived from abroad and<br />
are woefully inaccurate. So something is being done about this. For my part I am<br />
financing a Find That Rose! site. It is not at this stage going to be very sophisticate and<br />
not all pages of the hard copy of Find That Rose will be there. However do have a look<br />
on www.findthatrose.net and see! If it proves popular then it will move on to a search<br />
format.<br />
For the 23rd Edition the Horticultural Trades Association financed a CD version, which<br />
was distributed with a hard copy of Find That Rose to around 1,400 members of the<br />
Horticultural Trades Association. I was so impressed that I am purchasing to sell on<br />
some copies of this 24th Edition as an experiment. It makes searching for something<br />
specific such as a particular name or say all the various Rose of The Years simple by<br />
using the search facility. So if you are interested see ordering coupon on page 77.<br />
Under the Rose Industry marketing/publicity umbrella of <strong>Roses</strong> <strong>UK</strong> a new web site is<br />
being created and launched at Hampton Court, which will concentrate on photos, and<br />
descriptions of many of the newer varieties and some old favourites Visit<br />
www.rosesuk.com.<br />
