Summary: Good advice for growing miniature roses
Review: The author is a judge for the American Rose Society and is an expert on growing miniature roses. The information included here is thorough and covers the following asepcts of growing these roses - *An entertaining history of the rose
*A botany lesson (way more than I needed to know!)
*How to select the best varieties
*Growing outdoors
*Growing indoors
*What to do about diseases and pests
*Winter Protection and Care
*Eshibiting roses
*Photographing roses
*Hybridizing roses
*Drying roses
*Arranging roses
*A plug for the American Rose Society Not included are profiles of individual roses (there are probably way too many anyway) or anything on landscaping with miniatures. The information that is included is thorough and well written. The $17.95 retail price seems high for such a small book but this could be because it is published by a small publishing house. The information contained in it though will be very valuable and useful for gardeners seeking information on how to grow these little charmers.
