5.0 out of 5 stars A very beautiful & informative book on climbing roses., May 31, 1999

By A Customer

This is a wonderful book for anyone who enjoys climbing roses. It is beautiful and interesting, offering the origin of various roses, detailed descriptions, growing tips, and pruning instructions. I have found it to be a very helpful reference tool for my growing rose garden. In the winter, it is a pleasure place on a coffee table and browse the gorgeous pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on climbing roses I've seen, January 22, 2003

By	P. L. Hutton "PLH" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

--bar none! The author gives detailed descriptions of a select variety of climbers, along with information on the history, care and pruning of each one. Photographs of each are included, but this is an informational book, not mere eye candy. If I could only have one source on climbing roses, this would be it. My hope is that it will come back into print.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful book, very instructive, December 5, 1999

By	Jane (L) - See all my reviews

This book goes beyond the standard fare of horticulture writing. Its very informative but at the same time it had very readable prose and some refreshing ideas, especially on zones, blooming characters, etc, for the east coast of the US, which doesn't seem to be very habitable for roses in general.
