Synopsis

After an Introduction that expounds the author's personal philosophy on successful rose growing, the following chapters cover every group of roses. Specially commissioned photography shows roses, both on their own and in combination with other plants, accompanied by the author's subjective comments on which roses he considers to be the best to grow in that group. A directory covers all the roses mentioned in their group with plant portraits and concise details on height, spread, colour, disease resistance, etc. All roses are listed in alphabetical order of their names (which are internationally accepted) within their particular group, eg Climbers and Ramblers, Species Roses, Old Shrub Roses.
