Product Description
Roses are the quintessential garden flower, but many people think they re difficult to grow. Right Rose, Right Place by rose expert Peter Schneider puts that fear to rest by showing gardeners that when it comes to roses, it s all about location, location, location. The right rose will thrive when planted in the perfect spot. Weeks of bountiful blooms are the gardener's reward. Right Rose, Right Place is an inspiring yet practical book that encourages both new and experienced gardeners to make the most of these lovely, versatile plants in hedges and privacy screens, on trellises, integrated into flower beds, as container plants, and in many more ordinary yard settings. Rose gardeners in colder climates will find ample information on hardy shrub and heritage roses, the backbone plants of the author's own garden in Ohio, where he grows 1,200 different roses. Easy to follow step-by-step instructions and more than 400 beautiful full-color photographs make Right Rose, Right Place a joy to read and implement. Budding rosarians will find everything they need to successfully plant and grow a host of different cultivars. In addition, an extensive section on pruning and general maintenance, including how to deal with pests and diseases, equips rose gardeners with the know-how and skills to keep their new roses in tip-top shape. Right Rose, Right Place is the right book for growing and maintaining beautiful roses.

Great reference for northern/midwestern rose growers,
By Beth Cody "classical libertarian book addict" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Right Rose, Right Place (Hardcover)
As a midwestern dweller interested in growing roses, I can say that many rose books assume that most growers live on the West coast, in the South, or even in England, so much of the advice is not applicable to those of us living in the colder and more negligible "flyover" states.But Peter Schneider gardens and grows over 1200 roses in Ohio (Zone 5). Just about every rose he recommends in this book is hardy in his growing zone, and many to colder ones yet. He very helpfully indicates just how tall the roses actually get in his zone -- so the climber rose, Zephirine Drouhin, for example, which is usually listed as reaching 10 ft in height, only gets to be a 4-ft bush in his garden because it is only marginally hardy. And he also tells us how well each variety repeats bloom for him. This is very useful information for those planning gardens. Much of the book reads like a series of informal chats with an experienced rose grower who shares all kinds of useful, "insider" tips, information and amusing stories with us. Lucky us! There are many beautiful photographs of the roses, although not every variety is pictured, which would have been helpful to those of us who are not already familiar with hundreds of varieties. But his advice concerning rose care is some of the most helpful I have read to date, particularly concerning mulching, winter care and pests/diseases. Altogether a very useful book for rose growers, and particularly recommended for northern and midwestern would-be rosarians. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Written by an experienced rosarian,
By Christine Moore "LavenderLovingLady" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Right Rose, Right Place (Hardcover)
Several years ago I had the pleasure of visiting the author's garden, although I do not know him personally. In this book, he candidly talks about his experiences with roses he grows. The photographs are excellent, showing the true color and type of the roses. It is very easy to read as he writes as though he is talking to you. He gives good rose care techniques. Other members of the rose society I belong to have enjoyed the book, so it appeals to all levels of rose gardeners.
