Customer Reviews

Great information for the novice rose gardener.

This book walks the reader through all the steps necessary to grow roses in cold climates, including recommended varieties and procedures for outdoor and container growing. His tips were unique among the publications I've examined, and his advice sounds authoritative. His bias is towards organic gardening and lots of recommendations for soil amendments are shared. Detailed information on winter storage is included. There's even a recipe section! It's a small book, but packed with information. He answered all my questions so I recommend this book for beginners like me.
