Beautiful Roses

By Marie-Helene Loaec and Marie-Helene Loac

Just looking at every seductive picture, drenched in brilliant color, evokes the sweet fragrance of a rose garden, and the velvety feel of the flower's petals. The varied members of this grand family bloom here in dozens of photographs, organized by the different shades: reds, like the warm Hacienda, with its touch of amber and spice; pinks, including the fruity Albertine; whites; lilacs, violets, and mauves; and yellows and oranges. There is information on grouped-flower rose bushes; landscaping; climbing or rambling roses; miniatures; and aromatics. And, because roses can tempt the tastebuds as well as our others senses, there are even recipes. Hints for successful growing assure you can enjoy the real thing in your own garden.

a rose lovers delight

this is a truly marvelous book for any one be they rose lovers or not. The photography is superb, and would induce anyone to want to grow these magnificent specimens. There is an added bonus or a history of each rose that is presented in this delightful book. You can almost smell the fragrance of thses truly unique and special flowers. the one drawback is you will wish to own them all and there are many not suited to certain climates, but as a great read. ,dont pass it up.
