English Roses for the American Garden
by Clair G. Martin, et al
The rose has always been a popular flower; ancient Romans, Egyptians,
Greeks, and Chinese cultivated rose gardens and used the blooms in festivals
and funerals. Yet the roses we grow today have generally been in existence
for less than a century, and English roses--in spite of the traditional-sounding
name--have all been developed since the 1950s by rosarian David Austin
in an effort to combine the fragrance and beauty of old roses and the frequent
blooming habit of modern hybrids. 100 English Roses for the American Garden
presents those English roses best suited to the diverse North American
climate. As the curator of rose collections at the Huntington Botanical
Gardens, author Clair G. Martin knows his roses. With a large section devoted
to general rose care (mulching, composting, container growing, and cutting)
and individual pages (each, of course, depicting a single perfect rose)
detailing the availability, stature and habit, usage, and disease susceptibility
of each variety in various climates, this is an enjoyable and useful introduction
to a fragrant subject. Amazon.com

The
Rose and the Clematis: As Good Companions
by John Howells
Author John Howells claims that the climbing rose and the clematis
are natural planting companions; both have an urge to reach for the sky
and the need for the same growing requirements (good, rich soil and a fair
amount of water). The rose makes a softer, more beautiful support for the
clematis vine than any trellis, and clematis offers a contrast that brings
out the beauty of roses. They share the same kind of enemies, so a treatment
program for any pest will benefit both. They can also be grown together
in pots or beds. Finally, each comes in an array of colors that complement
the other--think of a yellow rose such as Golden Showers or Casino set
off by the gorgeous purple of a Victoria clematis. Howells makes his case
very convincingly with many gorgeous, full-color photographs. Amazon.com

Ultimate
Rose (American Rose Society)
by Beth Smiley (Editor), et al
Dorling Kindersley publishes the most beautiful of illustrated books;
their expertise with layout and color photography is especially welcome
in books on plants and gardens. The minute you open the cover to find front
and back end papers in rose pink, you get a clue about the quality of this
volume. Four hundred color photographs celebrate the long history of the
rose, paying tribute to this most beloved of all flowers.
What flower is more immediately recognized than the rose? Despite this
icon status, there is much confusion about the various kinds of roses.
Thus, choosing wisely for the garden can be a puzzle. It is far too easy
to be seduced by those silky petals and sweet perfume, but do you really
need another hybrid tea? This book can be enjoyed simply as a reference
for identifying roses or as an exploration of the history and significance
of roses. Because it's arranged by kind of rose, it makes clear the differences
between species: noisettes, hybrid perpetuals, etc. The most stunning flowers
of all (and of course you may well have a different opinion) may be the
old moss roses, with their fuzzy stems and flowers so doubled as to appear
ruffled. Pages are filled with close-ups of breathtaking roses, individual
blossoms photographed against a black background to highlight form and
color.
Whether Ultimate Rose is an art book or a garden book doesn't really
matter. It has managed to capture the magic and compelling beauty of roses,
identify each, compare the looks and virtues of the various types, and
give clear and thorough information on how to place and care for them in
your garden. --Valerie Easton - Amazon.com
