If you know the name of the plant you wish to see, you can ask Google and get information; otherwise for the public this website may help you choose your plants using foliage, shape and seed/fruit as well as flower photos before you buy them mailorder directly from the nursery / seed company that has donated the use of their photos!

With free advertising of their plants, I am asking for photos from the public / nurseries / seed companies / suppliers in the UK, or any other country in the European Union, who would supply plants / seeds mailorder direct to the public in the UK and/or the rest of the world. This also applies to American nurseries for America, Chinese Nurseries for China, etc since the plants from most other countries in the world can also be grown in the UK as well as their own country; providing the appropriate growing conditions are stated.

 

For each rose in its description page, I would prefer to show the following photos in 150 x 150 pixel (2" x 2") Pass-Through Graphic format:-

• Top of Juvenile Flower
• Top of Flower 2 days later
• Sideview of Flower 2 days later
• Top of Flower 4 days later
• Top of Flower 6 days later
• Top of Flower 8 days later
• Top of Flower which Nursery is selling you the plant for you to see
• Dead Flower to show whether petals fall off by themselves
• Flowers to show flower distribution
• Flower Stem
• Flower Bud Closed
• Flower Bud Open
• Juvenile Leaf
• Summer Leaf
• Autumn Leaf

• Last or Previous Year's Non-Flowering Stem
• Unpruned Overall Shape/Form
• Overall Shape/Form for Each Use (bedding, hedge, pot, cut-flower etc) in Summer
• Overall Shape/Form for Each Use (bedding, hedge, pot, cut-flower etc) in Winter
• Hips
• Dead Foliage
• Plant with its Diseases
• Plant with its Pests
• Plant with effect of lack of mineral nutrient
• Plant with effect of lack of fertilizer
• Plant with effect from lack of water

Dream on lad! The only photos people take are of a mature flower.

These Flower photos would then show you if the flower colour fades to another from its start to its demise. The other photos would give you a better insight into the variability of each rose's flower, foliage, branch structure, use etc.

Each Rose or any of the other Plant Description Pages could be up to 10,000 pixels in length to accomodate these photos and text. This Page is currently over 2,500 pixels long (12 August 2010).
