5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for identifying, choosing and growing roses., 8 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I have borrowed this book from the library on and off for the past 6 months and have now decided I must have my own copy!
The glossy pages are packed with over 350 lovely photographs, they show very accurate colours of the roses you may want to buy. It has also been invaluable in determining which roses I already have planted in my garden. As a fairly new but enthusiastic rose grower this book helps by explaining the height, scent with details on the good and occasionaly the bad points on each rose.
The book also includes a section on caring for your roses and makes pruning seem so easy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Roses, roses, all the way!, 8 April 2009
By Geoffrey Knee (Evesham, Worcs. UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whether you are a gardening novice or reasonably skilled, this RHS book on Roses should inspire you to greater things. Roses are arguably the finest blooms to have in any garden, small or large, and most of this book gives you page after page of fine photographs, with detailed descriptions, that will surely whet your appetite for having such beauty close to you. The notes on planting, tending (did you know that you don't prune climbers the same way as standards?), and competently caring for your roses, are simple and to the point, well illustrated with diagrams. My daughter has recently developed an interest in growing roses, and was delighted when I gave her this book.
