[.uk] Roses for Dummies (ISBN 0764552023)

Amazon.com Review:
Is there any flower more sensuous and romantic than the rose? Roses aren't just fragrant and beautiful; they're also easy to grow and come in hundreds of varieties and colors. Roses for Dummies covers the various types of roses--hybrid teas, grandifloras, floribundas, miniatures, climbers, shrub roses, and antique roses--helping would-be rose gardeners select the best variety for their conditions and pocketbooks. Planting, watering, mulching, and pruning are covered in enough detail to suit any arboretum and, speaking of arboretums, the book's appendix gives the locations of the best public rose gardens in the U.S. Roses for Dummies is a friendly guide to what may become a blooming passion.

Excellent Book:
It doesn't cover all the roses that are available out there but there is a brief description of the roses that are easily available at most garden centers. I always check the book for any disease prone ones before I buy a rose.

Great Book:
If you want to know alot about Roses and taking care of them, this is the book too get! This book has alot of information! Highley recomended !!

Rapid shippment:
Book was actually better condition than described. Shippemnt and devilery were very prompt.

It's OK...:
Very informative on a broad range of all things roses, but mainly on the surface-level; a good book for dummies, but not beyond. The color picture section was over-saturated, obviously not life-like colors. A good beginning and a quick read, but now I need to find a new book to continue learning about roses.

For even the most amatuer gardener:
I love roses, only I thought that they were hard to grow. Not with this book! I have two rose bushes that came with the house I bought last year, and they looked like they were dead. After learning about pruning, and various other aspects of rose growing, they are blooming like crazy!! This book has a great deal of information and will get you started in the right direction. I am so happy that I am going to plant a few a year in various places in my yard. As a person who needs detailed instructions on doing things, this book is 5 stars for my money!!
