As of January 2007 Jack Shoultz is heading up a new American Rose Society Committee and his articles and other organic rose writers will be featured in the American Rose Society Magazine every other month and possibly every month in the near future. We have been working on this committee setup for the past year and have launched an organic rose care website listed with ARS and available to anybody online. We are called "The Good Earth Rose Committee:----R.O.S.E.--Responsible, organic, simple and earth friendly. Our new website was ready to go the first of January and you can find it at www.organicrosecare.org. Please look at www.ars.org under ARS Committees and scroll down until you find Good Earth Rose Committee (IPM). We will be posting frequently to the website so check back often for updates. You can also reach us directly with your organic rose care questions. Please email us at organicjack@cox.net
