Review

This colorful encyclopedia continues to be a foremost authority. This beautiful and large formatted 304-page book is a comprehensive guide to more than 1,100 of the world's most popular and best-loved roses. An exceptional introduction to the wide world of roses. It will be most useful to the newly smitten but has plenty of appeal for the intermediate rosarian as well. Far more useful than the typical picture book, this one provides lots of information in compact -- Ann Lovejoy "Horticulture" (02/01/2000)
