Book Reviews of Roses: Placing Roses, Planting & Care, The Best Varieties
Book Review: Must-have for novice or experienced rose grower
Summary: 5 Stars
After carefully comparing other books that provided comprehensive information on roses, I chose the Sunset Roses book and have not regretted it one bit. When I purchased the book, I had 4-5 roses in my garden, and now I have 52 (at the time of this writing ;-). I still refer to this book as a reference for pruning techniques, disease, planting and placement, and just as a wonderful review of the next rose I must have!
The roses covered are certainly the most popular and easy to grow, and there is a section in the back that lists specific roses that are favorites of regional rosarians. So, for instance, if you are in zone 5-6 in Ohio, you can find best roses for the midwest/great lakes area, and so on. This is really valuable because a rose that will be a star for one gardener (such as Mr. Lincoln), might not perform well in another garden in a different part of the country.
Summary of Roses: Placing Roses, Planting & Care, The Best Varieties
Which roses grow best in a small garden?What companion plants complement a rose border? How do you 'modernize' a rose garden? All these and more are answered in the new edition of Sunset's Roses.
