Beautiful Roses

Enhance the beauty of your garden with mangificently scented roses. Their sweet aroma is as entrancing as their luxuriantly colored petals. With so many varieties available at nurseries and through catalogs, deciding which ones are best for your garden can be difficult. But not with this book to guide you! It describes 50 of the most fragrant, with information on their history, characteristics, and cultivation. Helpful hints include companion plantings and best locations. The flower portraits are organized by color. If you're looking for red roses, try Mme Isaac Pereire, a garden classic for more than 100 years, with its large, deep-crimson flowers. Vigorous and hardy, it adapts well to cold and requires only light pruning, but needs fertilizer in order to be at its best.Loaec, Marie-Helene is the author of 'Beautiful Roses', published 0016 under ISBN 9781402714344 and ISBN 1402714343.
