This book may be small, but the amount of information crammed into it has is impressive. "Growing Roses - Everything You Need to Know and More. . ." covers choosing the right roses for your garden, appropriate soil types, common rose diseases and pests, and pruning.I recommend this book to novice gardeners, because the terms are easy to understand. I myself am a novice gardener. Before reading Susan Sumner's book, I already thought of giving up gardening. I've tried growing roses before, but the gardening books that I've read are just too technical, or they lack information about the basic things on the assumption that the reader already knows about them. After reading Growing Roses, I realized that the basics should be taken seriously. Today, I have 2 rose shrubs in my backyard and I'm just eagerly waiting for the buds to bloom.
