Excellent list of favorites,

This review is from: Peter Schneider on Roses (Burpee Expert Gardener) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book, probably the best of the "Burpee Expert Gardener" series; it consists of Peter Schneider's favorite 400 or so rose cultivars, with many photographs and some broader cultural tips and information on classes of rose. That said, there are larger and more complete lists of roses, and more comprehensive guides to rose care; if Schneider doesn't like it, or if it wasn't in commerce before 1995, you won't find it here. I don't see that as much of a loss, as keeping the book to a manageable heft, and easing the choice of rose varieties, is worth the tradeoff if the editor's judgements are worthy. (Schneider, who boasts of having personally grown 1,400 rose varieties, mostly in Ohio, co-edits the Combined Rose List.)
