Oh I usually do go to hear Nancy speak every year at our local rose society.
She is a very good speaker and has a slide presentation too. For those of you up north she speaks annually at the Cherry Blossom/Valley? Rose Society (or something like that) based up near Traverse City. Nancy and Roger also host annual workshops at their nursery.

BTW speaking of Nancy and Austins... they field grew a bunch of English roses one year and the only ones that survived were: Constance Spry, Heritage and Mary Rose (if I recall right) and the only Austins they sell... but I believe they added Molineux to their Austin offerings last year. Is anybody growing Molineux? That is one I haven't tried yet. A few more Austins that do well for me are St. Cecilia, Teasing Georgia and A Shropshire Lad.
