Customer Reviews

Beautifully illustrated with full-color photos

A wonderful book about roses, 5.75" X 8.25", with soft laminated full color cover. The inside illustrations, several on each page of the book, are beautifully photographed older varieties of roses, all in full color and very well done. If you want to be able to identify a particular variety of old garden rose (not bred for exhibition at a rose show or the florist's shop), this may be the book for you. If you are a rose lover, it is certainly a book you will want in your library.Joseph Pierre
