The Rose Bible
'The Rose Bible,' by Rayford Clayton Reddell, is full of spectacular color photographs and easy-to-understand descriptions that will convince even the most skeptical gardener to plant roses despite their reputation as high-maintenance plants...With a light hearted and down to earth style, Reddell even delves into the classification of rose varieties and the heated disputes that occurred when modern hybrids were being churned out in force to the chagrin of traditional-minded rosarians.  --The Indianapolis Star
