It's not a bad site for a UK specific website. It's an immature site
that I'm sure will grow with time. But it's hardly "the best of the
best". It's barely adequate. It doesn't address very many rose
issues
and is pretty much barebones.

For instance, *our* local website has FAR more valuable information
regarding roses.

http://www.nashvillerosesociety.com/

I don't care much for the look and feel of the NRS site, but it
still
offers practical information about the challenges that our area
offers
(issues that are FAR different than the issues that the UK growers
face).

So, drop the smugness and get on with building your site.

PS, we have quite a few National winning members as well, including
a
well-known breeder or two *and* Ted Mills, who makes one of the most
famous rose formulations sold in the States. I haven't been a member
for a couple of years, but I still consult the website on occasion.

Your site frankly doesn't need your bluster.

And to be even more frank, uk.rec.gardens needs your bluster even
less.

Well, tell your "Double" to stop crossposting then. My original post
was rec.gardens.roses ONLY.

The war should probably be waere, but I'm a little rusty on my German
subjunctive.

That would make two of us. I am rusty on the rest of the sentence as
well, so you have wasted your time being too clever.

I am afraid I don't know enough German to translate that. You seem to
have something else wrong.

I am NOT taking sides one way or the other here. I'm just here as a
translator. It means, "If I were impolite, I would say "Halt's muzzle".

Well, more accurately, it would be "Shut up" (it's the vernacular, you
know - believe, I heard it more than once myself).

Mr. Double should have picked a less German-sounding name for his
dirtywork.
