BETTER ROSES
Rose-Growing for Everyone
A. S. Thomas
Cited in the Old testament, used to identify the opponents in a battle
between British claimants for the throne, and the inspiration of poets
for thousands of years, the rose must surely be the classic of all flowers
Roses were brought to Australia by the earlist settlers and depending
on the location, the climate and the soil, have provided a challenge
to gardeners for nearly 200 years. For those who succeed in growing
the blooms they provide never ending delight.
This book has been the standard work on roses for more than twenty
years, and is a complete and comprehensive work on all aspects of
growing roses.
