[QUOTE=GA Russell;3470970]An Introduction To Rose Growing - free
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00PCPAVDO/

I notice that the URL has "smile.amazon." I had a question about who the money went to--the charity of the one posting, or the charity of the one clicking the link. In case anyone else would like to know, the system directed me to my charity of choice.

I also had wondered about whether or not it was within the rules to even include a "smile.amazon" domain name. I have seen enough, though, that I'm sure that the moderators would have said something if it was against the rules. I suppose that the "affiliate" prohibition is only for for-profit businesses and/or those in a book business. If it is within the rules, thanks to the moderators for allowing these "smile" URL's. And thanks to Amazon for chipping in a portion of the sales price to our charity of choice--as many customers that Amazon has, it can really build up to a lot of money, I'm sure. The next time that I'm in contact with the business manager of the charity of my choice, I'll think I'll try to pull out of him just how much money they get from the program.

Speaking of growing roses . . . . I wonder if a 40-page book would include this, but you can get rose gloves to do your pruning, etc. work, so as to not to be pricked by thorns repeatedly. You can't find them just anywhere, but I know that Lowes and/or Home Depot carry them (I checked one of them one time, but I've forgotten which one it was). I'm "sure" that Amazon (A-to-Z and all of that) carries them, too.

BTW--if you're thinking about using rose gloves to play with your young cat without getting your hand shredded by their thin, needle-sharp claws, and needle-sharp teeth, it didn't work for me. He was put off by the gloves and wouldn't play anymore.
