In case anyone missed it, esteemed old-rose authority and author Brent Dickerson accidentally discovered a very old thread (14 years old!) here on the subject of his invaluable books. Please go to this thread, and welcome him, and BEG him to visit again and often, lol. This man is one of my, and many other, ahem...older...forum members' heroes. The man is a veritable fount of rose knowledge. He is literally irreplaceable. And if you don't have his books, get them NOW, unless you want to wait on the new editions he's currently working on. You won't regret it either way.
