Mostly Roses

Gardening is a rewarding hobby and roses add that extra something to any garden. The book is presented in two parts. Gardening tales and observations, with some humour, make up the first section with emphasis on the rose as a garden plant. Anyone who gardens will connect readily to this section. The second part is about cultivating the rose as a flowering plant and includes details about garden soil, watering regimes, pests and diseases, pruning and a trouble shooting guide. Details of the rose varieties mentioned in the text have a glossary item that provide plant, flower and other details.
