Spring Rose Workshop on Suite 101

SUITE101.COM ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST GLOBAL GARDENING
  WORKSHOP ON ROSES

  Suite 101, will sponsor its first ever global workshop on the
  Internet. Hosted by landscape consultant and American Rose Society
  Consultant Rosarian Mark Whitelaw,
  the workshop will focus on answering questions about rose horticulture

  from their membership. The Spring Rose Workshop, as it is called, will

  run from February 1 - 14 on Suite101.com’s internet website at
  http://www.suite101.com.

  The format will include daily tips published in the Rose Garden
(topic)
  (http://www.suite101.com/topics/page.cfm/513) where members may
comment
  or ask follow-up questions. They can also ask questions not related to

  the tip, add their comments or personal experiences with their roses,
or
  provide their own expertise by helping to answer questions on subjects

  where they have knowledge.

  “The advantage of holding this workshop on the Internet is that it
gives
  members the ability to ask questions about their roses without the
  constraint of a particular time or meeting place,” states Whitelaw.
“It
  also permits the seeking out of related information on websites
  throughout the world. If a gardener in Australia wants to know what
  ‘powdery mildew’ is, for example, I can show them a picture of the
  disease from Texas while also suggesting they visit a related website
in
  the United Kingdom. Or, if a rosarian desires a particularly hard to
  find rose for their garden, I may be able to locate it from the
various
  custom rooting firms on the Web.”

  Mark Whitelaw is an independent landscape consultant, designer and
  author from Ft. Worth, Texas. He has grown “The World’s Favorite
Flower”
  for 41 years, and shares those experiences with fellow rosarians
through
  various on-line services, magazine articles and newsletters. Mark
  specializes in Old Garden Roses and their environment-friendly care.
At
  Suite101.com, he is also the Contributing Editor for Rose Gardening.

  “This is a first,” states Julie Bradshaw, Managing Director of i5ive
  communications inc., the creators of the on-line community based web
  guide, Suite101.com. “It ties right into our concept of sharing
  information with our global community. This is only the beginning of
  what we believe will become an on-going forum for the universal
exchange
  of knowledge.”

  Although member registration is required to participate in the
  discussions and ask questions, anyone with Internet access and a
browser
  can view the tips and discussions.  Membership in Suite101.com, as
well
  as participation in the Spring Rose Workshop, is free and open to the
  public, except for any possible on-line charges which may be incurred
by
  the participant’s Internet Service Provider.
