evaluating them in a number of different categories.
This is “A Rose-Buying Guide to More Than 3,000 Varieties” and covers aspects
such as the national Garden performance rating and also data on classification,
color, number of petals, and date of introduction.
Get this book for your use in the garden and to help ensure you list the correct
name for your rose when entering it in the show. The guide sells for $5 at
