4.0 out of 5 stars
Good start for NW rose beginners, Sep 19 2005
By Colette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roses for Washington and Oregon (Paperback)
This is the book I recomend to people who live in the Northwest and want to learn about roses. There are many great rose books out there, many more informative and with more pictures... but for folks who are just starting out too much information can be confusing and frustrating.This is a great book for people that want to try to grow roses, but are intimidated by the selection at the local nurseries. Or for people who have tried to grow roses before, and have been disapointed with the results. The roses listed arn't the ONLY roses that will grow here by any means, but it acts like a cheat sheet, naming varieties that are likely to do well here regardless of the experience of the gardener.
I especially like that they encourage people to try old garden roses and Rugosas, which are sometimes snubbed in other begining rose books in favor of Hybrid teas.
For the beauty of the pictures and many varieties, I would encourage rose lovers to also purchase Random House Book of Roses by Roger Phillips. The color photographs look so real you swear you can smell them!
