Review
"This book has good information on rose culture and organic alternatives to chemical sprays. But the best part is the extensive listing of roses that tend to be healthy without much help from the gardener - my kind of rose." - The Times-Saturday Circulation, (U.S.); "Any rose gardener will enjoy this useful book. The organic approach will make it that much better." - Dallas Morning News; "This is a delicious book! The Organic Rose Garden, is a polished feast from paper to layout to writing. The spread of photos is a banquet to the eyes." - Small Press; "There is no better source on sensible rose growing." - Mobile; "This is a book specifically for today's rose gardener." - Caller-Times"

great photos,useful info,too much on design
this book is wonderfully illustrated and contains plenty of useful information for the organic grower.the problems i had with the book is that the author spent too much time on garden design and the book was primarily directed to southern growers.

excellent resource for antique roses
I found this book at our local garden center. It had nearly every rose in it that I was interested it, along with pictures and a description and history of each plant. This would make a great addition to the library of the "Rose Lover" gradener.
