The principles behind the selection and descriptions are explained on the first page of this section, where there are direct links to the pages for each letter from A to Z. These are followed by a checklist of names, with cross references where a rose is known by more than one name.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>In the section called </B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#003366" FACE="Britannic Bold" ><B>A Taxonomy of the Rose</B></FONT><B> an attempt has been made to provide a brief description of the main characteristics which mark the </B><I><B>genus rosa</B></I><B> off from other flowering plants, the range of species which have been found and the way in which cultivated roses have evolved from their wild forebears.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>An attempt has also been made to provide a forum where visitors to the site can seek help in identifying roses that may be growing in their gardens by sending photos and descriptions.
