I know they aren't natives. I was asked by the local rose society to see
if I could develop a presentation on this. Looks like "not". I did find
asome data on "organic rose gardening" that favors the soilfoodweb.

Regarding the address (and this has been going on for about 3 weeks now
with the austin.rr.com and animaux.net - thats why I started posting my
address to this group. Surely, you have noticed it?)

I found some frogfruit along a right-of-way.

Other than that, I only have one rose, two actually. An antique 'Somb=
