Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
One of the country's foremost authorities on roses, Scanniello is the often-quoted rosarian responsible for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's lovely Cranford rose garden. Imbued with a delightfully intimate tone, Scanniello's practical new guide seems the next best thing to sitting down with him for a cup of tea and chatting about the very best ways to deal with roses of all types--modern or antique. Addressing different methods for various areas of the country, Scanniello touches on topics ranging from ordering roses by mail order to pruning, planting, fertilizing, and nonchemical ways to keep rosebushes healthy. Always an enthusiastic instructor, Scanniello offers accessible counsel for beginning gardeners and fascinating tips for gardeners who might already possess expertise but could readily use advice from an expert. Alice Joyce

5.0 out of 5 stars Doug, March 5, 2000
By Doug (Nevada City, Ca.) - See all my reviews
A year of Roses is an excellent reference book for rose gardeners of all varieties. The author conveniently breaks the book down in chapters by month. This allows one to quickly reference what should be done at a certain time of year. I read this book one chapter a month over the course of the year and my roses were the beneficiary. It is certain that I will refer back to this book frequently for years to come. I give this book my highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on the culture of roses that is available., January 3, 1999
By A Customer
Stephen Scanniello's love for the rose comes across in the way he cares for his roses. His book is neither a coffee table book or a "dry" instructional tome. This is a book you take out in the garden with you. You and Stephen pratice together what is going to make your rose garden look like you always wanted it to be.
