Summary:
"The classic
guide
fully updated and expanded with the addition of over 25
hardy
rose cultivars. In
Hardy
Roses
, author Bob Osborne shares his decades of experience raising
roses
without any chemicals in some of the coldest winters.
Roses
need not be intimidating and doomed to inevitable failure, regardless of the climate. With this indispensable
guide
, northern gardeners can enjoy that early snowstorm confident that their carefully tended
roses
will survive. For this new edition of his classic
guide
, Osborne has fully revised and updated his text. In the first part of the book, he carefully guides readers through the process of selecting, planting and caring for
roses
, touching on topics such as overwintering, pests and diseases, and propagation as he goes along. The second section profiles over 100
hardy
rose cultivars divided into four main categories: climbers, tall shrubs, semi-vigorous shrubs and low shrubs. The
guide
also features a North American zone map and a detailed chart of
hardy
cultivars -- ideal to use while shopping -- describing color, form, hardiness, zone, vigor, fragrance, season, disease susceptibility and much more. More than 125 exquisite photographs convey the
roses
' subtle coloration and beauty, and detailed line drawings illustrate the best planting, maintaining and propagating techniques for
hardy
roses
. As the only authoritative book on growing
roses
in colder climates,
Hardy
Roses
is
essential
reading for gardeners who want to experience the joy of cultivating these beautiful plants."--From publisher.
