Beautiful Roses Book

Just looking at every seductive picture, drenched in brilliant color, evokes the sweet fragrance of a rose garden, and the velvety feel of the flower's petals. The varied members of this grand family bloom here in dozens of photographs, organized by the different shades: reds, like the warm Hacienda, with its touch of amber and spice; pinks, including the fruity Albertine; whites; lilacs, violets, and mauves; and yellows and oranges. There is information on grouped-flower rose bushes; landscaping; climbing or rambling roses; miniatures; and aromatics. And, because roses can tempt the tastebuds as well as our others senses, there are even recipes. Hints for successful growing assure you can enjoy the real thing in your own garden.
