Hi,
Sadly, we lost one of our rose legends in here Australia on Saturday, Peter Cox was made an Honorary Life Member of the Heritage Roses in Australia and was the recipient of the Deane Ross Memorial Award for his contribution to roses.
He was also the author of "Species Roses" which depicts his passion of species and heritage roses through his oil paintings.
Is there any chance of including Peter under the Authors listing where he can receive due honors for his work with our beloved roses. I have some photos I could send you as well.
Thank you kindly,
Rita Granata

He has been listed as an author for many years now Rita, from his 1999 Australian Roses: Roses and Rose Breeders of Australia book. I have added the Species Roses book of his paintings. Many thanks for letting us know.

Thanks Pat. Peter's name wasn't coming up in the search. I also tried to search for other authors and using their full name wasn't returning any results. Then I decided to just use the Christian name only and viola, there he was. I've uploaded some photos, probably in the wrong place.
Just didn't want his passing to go unnoticed in the rose world.
