WOW!  Yes, there is no doubt that the indefatigible Brenda Landers-Smith has exhibited her great passion for roses yet again by designing the top rose society web site in the country.  The acolades from all over the USA are clear testimony to her volunteer spirit and sincere commitment.  Such high energy deserves our combined appreciation and recognition. Brenda you are indeed a winner!

In the midst of a heat wave here on the East Coast, when I opened your website, it felt like a cool breeze. Simply elegant. I am a city girl who doesn't get much opportunity to see such delightful flowers and gardens. I will be a frequent visitor to this website.

Congratulations!!!

What can I say about something so nice. The work thats' gone into this certainly shows. Absolutely stunning!

 

Joe on January 10, 2006

Very good site Brenda. The photos you have on your gallery are excellent. I have seen a lot of bad images I would not show anywhere with distracting backgrounds and many are out of focus. I am refering to the many images by others on (other sites). Just look what others added to my mini 'Glowing Amber' on (other site) and you will see what I mean. Keep up the good work.

Brenda you've done a fabulous job with this web site. I agree with everything already posted here. The only thing I can think to add is that the roses seems so lifelike that I can almost smell them. What an antidote to a cold winter day;I can't wait to get back into the garden. I really like the educational articles, too.
