  Usenet
 

    Usenet is a world-wide bulletin board service.  Usenet is an enormous collection of "newsgroups" that allows posting and responding to questions about every imaginable topic, similar to a bulletin board.  Through this system you can post a question and get answers from around the world within a day.  Usenet is usually offered as a basic service by your Internet provider, along with e-mail and world wide web access.  Be aware that Usenet is, for the most part, unmoderated and uncensored, and as such can contain objectionable content.  With that caution in mind, Usenet can be fun and informative.   For more information about Usenet, refer to your Internet provider's web site, or visit Usenet.org.
      Usenet offers a number of newsgroups devoted to roses and gardening.  The Usenet newsgroup devoted to rose gardening is rec.gardens.roses . This link will only work if you have access to Usenet and your computer is configured to use it.
      If you do not have direct access to Usenet, there are several web sites that can give you access, including Google's rec.garden.roses link.
      The Official Rose FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is occasionally updated and posted on Usenet.  This FAQ is a list of questions and answers commonly posted on rec.gardens.roses.  You can always read this FAQ even without Usenet access by visiting the Rose FAQ page.

This list is not meant to recommend vendors, but rather to give examples of the materials available on the Web.  If you have specific comments about any of these vendors or would like to add to this list please e-mail Bob Conkwright.  Please limit your suggestions to online rose plant sources.  Bob can also give you assistance on how to purchase roses online.
