The Organic Rose Garden
Druitt, cohost of the PBS series The New Garden Journal, offers readers a comprehensive guide to growing roses organically. She discusses rose garden design, soil preparation, planting, propagating, weeding, watering, fertilizing, pruning, and disease and pest control. For 175 roses, Druitt provides information on name, class, color, fragrance (if any), size, blooming capability, shade tolerance, and the most appropriate growing zones. A final chapter contains recipes, such as candied rose petals, rose petal jam and pound cake, and rose hip tea, soup, sauce, and jelly.George Cohen
