Book Description

For Dummies June 30, 2000
Celebrated for centuries for their gorgeous blooms and heavenly scents, roses have a certain mystique and romantic aura unlike any other garden plant. And though you might think they're too impossibly delicate to grow in Canada, Roses For Canadians For Dummies show you they're not. Using the hardiness recommendations, and the eight-page full colour photo insert, you'll be able to choose the best rose varieties for your Canadian climate zone.

Includes: Ratings of the biggest blooms and most savoury rose scents; an easy-to-understand and illustrated guide to planting and pruning techniques; winterizing strategies so your shrubs survive the harshest seasonal conditions; buying the healthiest plants and safeguarding against rose pests and diseases; Canadian Plant Hardiness Zone Map

More About the Author

Doug Green, award winning garden author, brings a down-to-earth style and easy gardening systems to his lifetime of organic garden achievements.

A semi-retired nurseryman, Doug has been answering beginner gardening questions with organic remedies for over 30 years and looks for ways to succeed that don't involve a lot of work or complexity. Refusing to take himself seriously, he believes in enjoying gardens, not working in them. If he's not writing about gardens, he's out enjoying them (or even out sailing) on his island home out in Lake Ontario. Occasionally, he will work in one but he's on a lifetime quest to have a garden that doesn't involve the concept of "real work".

Doug answers gardening questions on his 8 websites and writes because (as he so wryly puts it) it's "easier than working for a living".

What his friends will tell you is his books are works of love because he'd rather write and garden than do most other things.
