5.0 out of 5 stars Grow beautiful roses with the help of this excellent book, 1 May 2003

By	Mr. A. C. Gilbert "thegilb" (Chatel sur Rolle, Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Once again, Hessayon comes up trumps with his simple, easy-to-follow and well-illustrated guide. There's everything you need to know about growing roses, from the qualities of different varieties to planting and care. The book has been significantly updated to take into account the latest varieties and fashions
My particular favourite is the rose troubles area, as the illustrations enable you to pinpoint exactly what problems you have and show you how to treat them.
This book is a must for anyone starting out or wanting to reinject some life into rosebed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Covers everything i needed to know, 5 Nov 2006

By	P. I. Wellman "piw" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Another great Dr Hessayon book

I'm not a rose person myself but I bought this book as my wife likes roses and we had a very sad looking rose in the back garden. I was going to dig it up and compost it, glad I didn't as it just didn't like the soil it was in.

I came across the book in a charity shop [...], turned out to be a bargain really.

The book covers all kinds of varieties of roses from Hybrid tea to patio and ground covering roses, even covers climbing and ramblers.

Fantastic photo evidence which helps to identify your roses, and a general description about it.

Covers what kind of rose will grow better and where is the best place to plant it.

I also found the section on how to identify diseases very helpful, it has great photos of the diseases that can affect your roses and it gives great information about how to treat it, it also covered the problem I was having with my rose.

Maintenance is covered in the book, this covered pruning and spraying.

Great references, which covers all the information you will probably ever need about roses.
