ISSN 1038-2801 Preface Paul Hains ARA SMA - Queensland In the 93 years since Mr TA Stewart published the frst Australian Rose Annual there have been only 10 editors (including joint editors - 9 editorial teams). Each editor has brought a diferent style to their editions. I have enjoyed bringing the love of the rose to you over the last 5 years and hope you have enjoyed taking the journey with me. I never planned on being the National Editor but circumstances often have a way of changing your direction. At the time there was no-one who would take on the role and NRSA ofcials were discussing having a year with no Australian Rose Annual. I’m glad I took on the challenge. It’s hundreds of hours of work to compile but it’s satisfying to produce a publication to help our members with their love of roses. We need to encourage and support this passion and this publication is the best opportunity to share our national spirit across our regions and worldwide. I will be forever greatful for the many regular contributors without whom it would not have been possible to bring you the Annual for the last 5 years. Special thanks to Doug and Glynis Hayne as the last Honorary Editors for their help to start me of and guidance over the years. I would like to also make a special thank you to Melanie Trimper, Michelle Endersby, Gavin Woods, and Richard Walsh who gave me contributions to publish throughout my tenure as Editor. 2020 was a challenging year for everyone. It has provided an opportunity for all of us to take a step back to reassess priorities and the time we have available to persue our passions. For me this means it is now time to hand over to someone else to bring their touch to the publication, making this my 5th and fnal Australian Rose Annual. My fnal thankyou goes to my wife Toni who supported me while I took on way too many rose society roles and spent my nights and weekends doing society administration instead of my rose breeding, tending to the garden, and family time. I’m looking forward to spending more time in my garden and ftting in some more ultramarathon running on the mountain trails close to home. I wish everyone all the best.

The year did throw up many challenges which organisations not only in Australia but in so many parts of the world did adapt to. The challenges forced some to fairly rapidly up date or familiarise our self with modem technological communication skills. Zoom meetings as well as virtual shows were added to our vocabulary, especially when the NRSA 2020 AGM was held by Zoom. It was a great disappointment that the 2020 National Championships had to be postponed for twelve months. Such postponements and cancellations became familiar aspects of Rose Societies’ around the world. Only Western Australia could operate more or less as normal in regard to shows. South Australia showed great initiative with their virtual rose show. The 2020 National Rose Trial Garden on line award presentation enabled many members who had never seen this event to share the experience. It had been my intention to visit every Australian State during my term as National President, lock down and travel restrictions prevented this. As my Presidency will now continue into 2021 I hope to achieve this during the year. Hopefully this year will see a gradual return to normality throughout the world. At this time positive results are being recorded for vaccines enabling us to travel domestically and internationally renewing acquaintances with friends and enjoy magnifcent rose gardens in various places around the globe also enabling friends from overseas to visit Australia. Considering the year we have experienced it is hard to fnd many positive aspects, but many people have rediscovered gardening. In so many places gardens have never looked better. Ironically in a year with practically no Rose Shows the Roses have rarely looked so stunning. I look forward to welcoming rosarians to “Roses by the Sea” Australian Rose Championships at Kiama in October 2021. We see Kiama as a Curtain-Raiser to the Adelaide 2022 gathering, There is so much to see and do in the Kiama area we hope many visitors will extend their stay a few extra days. 4 The National Rose Society of Australia Inc.
