My horizons have just been widened by a book based on wide experience and practical authority, RHS Roses by Michael Marriott...It is ideal for anyone wanting advice and a way through the proliferating jungle of roses. -- Robin Lane Fox * Financial Times *
A must-have for any budding rosarian, the author of this paean to the rose was a familiar face at David Austin Roses for several decades and has an encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of rose care and the countless number of varieties, historic and modern. The book suggests what to choose for different situations, from mixed borders to walls and pergolas, with chapters focusing on hips, leaves and thorns, scent an those best suited to cutting for the vase. -- Rachel de Thame * The Sunday Times *
