Rating: - Covers everything i needed to know
Another great Dr Hessayon book
I'm not a rose person myself but I bought this book as my wife likes roses and we had a very sad looking rose in the back garden. I was going to dig it up and compost it, glad I didn't as it just didn't like the soil it was in.
I came across the book in a charity shop [...], turned out to be a bargain really.
The book covers all kinds of varieties of roses from Hybrid tea to patio and ground covering roses, even covers climbing and ramblers.
Fantastic photo evidence which helps to identify your roses, and a general description about it.
Covers what kind of rose will grow better and where is the best place to plant it.
Rating: - Grow beautiful roses with the help of this excellent book
Once again, Hessayon comes up trumps with his simple, easy-to-follow and well-illustrated guide. There's everything you need to know about growing roses, from the qualities of different varieties to planting and care. The book has been significantly updated to take into account the latest varieties and fashions My particular favourite is the rose troubles area, as the illustrations enable you to pinpoint exactly what problems you have and show you how to treat them. This book is a must for anyone starting out or wanting to reinject some life into rosebed.
