Review
An exceptional introduction to the wide world of roses. It will be most useful to the newly smitten but has plenty of appeal for the intermediate rosarian as well. Far more useful than the typical picture book, this one provides lots of information in compact -- Ann Lovejoy "Horticulture" (02/01/2000)
