Get your hands on this masterpiece, endorsed by the American Rose Society.

The world's most popular flower - the "Queen of Flowers" - is strikingly and memorably featured in this new, full-color, activity-filled book. It is one of the only rose books fully endorsed and recommended by the American Rose Society (ARS). The book features the ARS' 20th Century Commemorative Rose Garden and their selection of the most popular, trouble-free roses of the past 100 years.

Clear, colorful pictures and easy-to-understand text explain every reason to include roses in a home landscape. All popular rose classes are included: Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Grandiflora, Miniature, and Polyantha, as well as a host of fragrant, old garden, and heritage rose favorites. The book is practical, too. Every one of its building and planting projects include detailed photographs and step-by-step instructions depicting technique, necessary materials and required tools.
