Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Roses are increasingly popular among gardening enthusiasts, although growing them requires considerable effort at the least. This heavily illustrated, detailed guide is both practical and handsome, with numerous color photographs depicting roses in lovely garden environments, and useful how-to drawings clearly explaining care and culture requirements. A convenient format makes this all-around volume an excellent resource for basic botanical information and design tips. Comprehensive "rose portraits" will help in selecting the best performers and most beautiful varieties among the thousands of roses available. Alice Joyce

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent rose book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Roses (Nature guides) (Paperback)
I took several books on rose gardening from the library and found that this one is the best. The pictures are great, the explicit details are excellent. I have started the rooting procedure and that seems at the moment to be working. The correct amount of time has not elapsed. I highly recommend it to rose novices. The book is so well liked by me that I am going to purchase it
