Summary: A rose by any other name.......
Comment: A beautifully illustrated and fact-filled book on the myriad of extraordinary rose cultivars. The book is a feast for the eyes and truthfully a bargain for it's price considering that most books cost more and do not even approach the detailed information and unbelievably beautiful photos of hundreds of cultivars. This book is replete with cultivars from landscape roses, hybrid teas, floribundas, miniatures, species roses, and even vines.
They are all covered and fully illustrated!!!! A true encyclopedia for the rose afficianado that one will enjoy looking at over and over again!!! It will help you find that perfect rose for your landscaping needs. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do. :-)

Summary: Nicely done
Comment: I was pleasantly surprised when I received this book. The pictures are nice and clear and seems organized well. Even though it has information about hundreds of roses, it seemed to missing a few of what I thought were fairly popular roses. All in all it's a good reference book for the beginner.

Summary: A Great Value
Comment: For a book to have as much color photography as this book does for under $... is truly amazing. I have done much of my rose garden by year of introduction and have found this book extremely useful. I do searches on internet sites or rose lists, and then locate the roses in this book to see what they look like, as well as other tidbits of information such as disease-resistance, repeat-bloom, hardiness etc. The book does include year of introduction in its summary, but lists the roses alphabetically so one can easily find them. I also noticed the index in the back of the book lists many roses by their synonym names which is helpful when another source you are working with calls the rose by a different name.
Very little information in terms of how to care for a rose exists in this book. You will have to purchase other books for that. There is only so much information one can pack into a book and still keep it portable!!
