Roses (Hardcover)

This little book is addressed to those gardeners who love roses but who perhaps have not had sufficient experience in growing them to produce them at their best. Complete in its unabridged, original form, extensively illustrated and full of instruction that is as useful and practical today as it was when originally published. Contents include - Preface - The Evolution Of The Modern Rose - Planning And Preparing A Rose-Garden - A selection Of Modern Hybrid Tea Roses For The Garden - The Polyanthia Roses - Climbers And Ramblers - The Rose As A Flowering Shrub - Planting - Pruning - Propagate Your Own Plants - Manures And Manuring - Pests And Dieases - Pot-Roses Under Glass - Rose-Shows. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
