Hi Kevarose

I too am not on commision. It can be ordered from the green book company
esales@greenbook.com.au or tel 03 9427 8866.
I have the first edition of this book and have not seen the revised edition. It is advertised on the back page of the Journal of Heritage Roses in Australia - this is why I have the details. I met him at one of the heritage rose conferences (in Freo - he came for dinner at my home on a hospitality night) and he has an encyclopedic knowledge.

cheers Deryn

A great book for all Aussie rosies-What makes me sad is all the 'extinct' Australian roses listed in the book.
Seems people prefer international roses rather that local grown ones-and we have some fabulous ones going by the photos and descriptions in this book.
An eye opener for all of us.

Thanks Deryn and Sandie - it is a steal at $15 and I think may go out of print soon so those who think they might be wanting to know what some of those available actually look like might buy it now before it is too late. I agree Sandie what a pity that the community - and I am as guilty as the next - looks to the fashionable one and all these Oz wonderful roses become extinct.

I have this one and it is great, has heaps of stuff you don't see anywhere else. It has helped me buy some specifically Australian roses.
Cheers

It's a great buy at $15. Here's some Aussie roses I got outta the book (have to admit that April Hamer I grew in my family of origin garden way back in 1985 and have loved it since).

Have been searching for a shot of "Another Chance" but can I find one when I'm looking for it?

Are two of mine because of the book.

I've noticed quite a few of Alister Clark roses, at least, are available at Petals & Buds Nursery, Kapunda Road, Eudunda, SA 5374, Phone 0431 483 445 and orders for bare-rooted roses are from August 1st to Dec. 30th for winter delivery the follwoing year; after that till March there would be a reduced likelihood of getting the roses you are after, particularly the Modern varieties.

Thank you Janine for that advice - might try and get my winter order in as only a few days left - I want a Mrs Richard Turnbull and a few others I have not been able to find anywhere else

Can you buy this book at any regular book shops or is it only mail order?......Cheers, Dee.
