Synopsis

A rose by any other name may smell as sweet--but nothing compares to flowering rosebushes for beauty and aroma. Throughout the world, and throughout history, growers have tended lovingly to this most popular flower. Roses come in such a wide variety of sizes and colors that, all by themselves, they can add diversity to your garden. Carefully choose where you'll plant them: they require at least six hours of sun and good air circulation. Keep them a distance from trees or shrubs that might drain nutrients roses require. And make sure that you can see them from your window--because you'll never stop admiring their loveliness! * Select from miniature roses, floribunda, hybrid tea, grandiflora, tree rose, and climber--they'll all covered. * Consider their characteristics, so that roses will grow well in your climate and bring you the most pleasure. * Provide drainage, prepare the soil, and plant or transplant the flowers in containers, on walls, or in the ground. * Care for them with proper mulching, pest and disease control, and proper protection and pruning. Then just sit back and smell the roses! Sterling 64 pages (all in color), 5 1/4 x 8 7/8.
