This is a small and comprehensive book which really does give all the information needed to grow roses well.  Within minutes I realised that I'd just planted a rose in the wrong place, so it'll have to be moved. Fortunately, the book also tells you how to successfully plant a rose so that it has the best chance of prospering.The book is well structured and advice, often given in bullet-point form, is easy to read and follow. Planting, nurturing, disease and pest control, and pruning are all covered in a way that makes the whole thing seem so much easier than some gardening books I've read.I like the additional chapter on drying roses. I'd never thought of doing that before, but some are so beautiful that I might give it a try.
