Stay up to date with the latest information on the BellaOnline Roses website by signing up for my free newsletter.

I promise your inbox won't be cluttered up with spam, or unnecessary emails. Just a newsletter once a week or so, letting you know a new article is ready for your enjoyment on the site.

I'll be covering all the topics of interest to rose lovers, including basic care, pruning techniques, types of roses, insects and diseases, fertilizing, roses in containers, and special situations. I will also review books and magazines of interest to rose fanciers, and recommend products that will help make your garden even more beautiful.

If there is a topic you would particularly like to read about, drop me a line through my email or on the forum, and I will try to cover it in a future article.

You can also ask a rose-related question on the forum, and I will do my best to answer it for you!

BellaOnline never sells your email address, or uses it in any way other than to send you the newsletter. We do not use your personal information for anything other than emailing you requested information. If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time.

I'm the new editor of the Roses site at BellaOnline, and I'm very excited at this chance to bring you information about every aspect of the "Queens of the Garden." I have grown many different types of roses, and am always glad to learn more about these gorgeous flowers, as well as share my knowledge with other enthusiasts.

If you are new to rose growing, start off by reading through the articles in the Basic Care section of the site. You will soon be up and running, tending to your glorious roses and enjoying beautiful cut flowers inside your home.

If you are a more experienced rose lover, I hope to bring you information that is new and interesting, and perhaps you will share new information with me! I am always happy to learn new tips and techniques for improving my garden.

It's easy to sign up for the Roses newsletter. Simply put your email address in the box at the bottom of the page, and submit. I look forward to "meeting you" on the rose forum, and to providing you with useful and entertaining information to help you grow the healthiest roses possible.
