Format:Paperback
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.

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.

I have learnt all I know about gardening and horticulture from the Expert series of gardening books; they are thorough, well formatted and informative in every element they talk about; from non gardener to opening a cottage garden under the National Garden Scheme I can attribute my entire knowledge to these easy-to-read gardening and plant guides - you can always find what you are looking for, like I've just inherited a rose garden in a recent move and was able to ID all the roses even at this time of year using The Rose Expert. And have discovered I have a garden with the most revered fragranced roses. Thanks to the book I will know the culture of each, when to prune etc.etc. I would not look anywhere else for Garden and plant guidance than to the Expert series.
