Written for American gardeners this is nevertheless of much interest to rose lovers in the UK. A fresh viewpoint from an established US gardening writer and presenter, Jeff Cox, accompanied by the inspirational photographs of Jerry Pavia make this an informative, attractive work on one of Britain's favourite flowers. Gardeners are always interested in other people's gardens and this gives a glorious insight into how roses are grown abroad, in zones not always amenable to rose growing. Arbours, trellis, rose-beds, mixed borders - all are covered with clear instructions on how to make supports and general cultivation advice. Unusual planting combinations and growing methods make this a must for gardeners interested in using roses as part of their garden design and a fresh intelligent viewpoint on an age-old subject is always welcome. - Lucy Watson
