"The ultimate network for amateur fans!" |

The Wild Rose Network is a collection of 52 sites covering many sub-interests within the amateur niche. This network is quite different from most of the other networks we've reviewed. In fact, it actually shares many of the characteristics of a small AVS! Unlike most networks, each site in this collection is run independently by individual webmasters. The network is headed and maintained by the world famous Carol Cox, "the original internet amateur." Carol has been on the net for a decade now and knows a thing or two about amateur porn! The fact that she has assembled over 30 independently strong amateurs to share access is truly impressive.
The 52 included sites are divided into two groups, personal sites and niche sites. There are 34 personal sites and 18 niche sites. Since there are simply too many sites to discuss each one individually, I'll do what I can to detail each group below. Thankfully they do make it very easy to see which sites are the most recently updated on their News page. Between the 52 sites in the network, you can expect eight to ten updates daily Monday through Friday.
The personal sites are your typical amateur sites. Each site is run by an individual model who shares her personal pictures, videos and sometimes webcam shows with members. All of the content on these sites is exclusive and you'll find anywhere from 200 to 100,000 pictures on them (Ok, so Carol Cox's site is the only one with 100,000 pictures, most hover between 5-10k). Because each site is run independently, design and content quality vary quite a bit. Most feature standard amateur quality content, pics around 600x800 that were shot at home. There is a great variety in the type of participating amateurs and their fetishes. Whether you're a fan of milfs, bondage, stockings and heels, bbws, teens or interracial, you'll find a site completely dedicated to your interest. I can't think of a more comprehensive collection of complete quality amateur sites available with one membership, especially considering that you get access to CarolCox.com, the largest amateur site on the net! If you'd like more detail about the included sites two of them in this group that we've previously reviewed are Carol Cox and Brandi 4 U.
The niche sites present unique fetish material in various niches like big boobs, watersports, girls in glasses, lesbians, anal sex, teen and Asians. These sites offer a mix of exclusive and non-exclusive content. Joy of Spex (previously reviewed) is my personal favorite in this group. The site features sexy amateurs in glasses. All of the content is exclusive and is presented so cleanly and with such dedication to the fetish (they even list each girl's lens power) that it's very impressive. Of course, you really can't go wrong with any of the sites in this group. No cookie-cutter crap here; each site is specifically created to cater to a different niche.
There is also a section of bonus content that is worth checking out. In addition to the live feeds of Homegrown Cams, Amateur CamZ, and SexCamCentral which feature the live shows of 100's of amateur women (many of whom have sites in the network), users get access to hundreds of recorded videos and feeds, as well. Then there are the games, stories, jokes, cartoons, picture post and access to the WildRose Personals Network. Remarkably, to access one of the most intriguing bonus features on the Wild Rose Network you don't even need a membership! I'm referring, of course, to their large adult community message board. Users simply need to register a username for free and they can access the complete forums. There are currently 6,824 users in this very active community discussing everything from politics to making plans to fuck Carol Cox. Even if you don't plan to join the network I highly recommend checking out the message boards. It's a great place to hang out and keep current with events within the adult world.
The Wild Rose Network is a great join for any fan of amateur websites. You'll be hard pressed to find another network that offers so many sites featuring exclusive content and at the amazing price of $20 a month. That's a fantastic deal! Carol Cox's site alone is worth that so for 50 other amateur sites to be included is just awesome. This network is a must-join for amateur fans.

Review: 10-21-05 |
It's been fifteen months since our last visit to the Wild Rose Network, which is really just a drop in the bucket of the lifespan of this network. I don't think much has changed on the network itself, you've still got daily updates, a good bit of exclusive content, and nice looking (though still amateur) content. It has grown since our initial review, from 52 sites to 65 sites, making for easily one of, if not the, largest collection of amateur porn on the net. A few months ago there was a major site addition, the Adult Life Styles Network. Calling itself "The First True Adult Community," ALS includes a personals network, a sex parties network, an adult travel network, video chat, games, and more. It's open to everyone, swingers, singles and whomever else wants to get into contact with other likeminded (horny) individuals. It's another great addition and I give credit to Carol and her crew for continuing to work in creative ways to expand the network. I'm changing a couple scores but my overall total remains the same. Wild Rose remains the definitive amateur network.
Score increased from 84.4 to 85.5.
