I'm not sure why you can't find all the rose groups on
yahoogroups. There are literally hundreds of them. Do you
know how to do searches?

Yes, and don't be condescending. If you search on "roses", you'll
get literally hundreds of groups, most of which have nothing to
do with rose growing. So I searched on rose growing and found
none.


More then just one. At least 34.

Please explain this to me, because I really don't understand it.
rec.garden.roses exists, people are already here, why did you feel there was
a need to create a yahoo group? Over the years dozens of people have made
similar in rec.gardens, and rec.gardens.roses.

I've always felt this is like meeting up with your friends in a restaurant,
who are already seated and have ordered food, and announcing "hey guys, I
made reservations at a restaurant across town, let's go there."

A search of "rose garden forum" yields 1.7 million hits.
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=rose+garden+forum

Granted there are a lot of duplicates, some may be for regional rose
societies and some may not have anything to do with roses. But still..I
can't think of a reason to create one more forum, can you?
