Booklist
For decades, Austin has devoted his life to
the development of exquisite new rose varieties he
designates English roses. In a stunning presentation
that includes a brief history of roses through the
centuries, Austin reveals his process of hybridizing
these exciting new plants. Now widely available in
the U.S., these are the roses creating real
excitement among gardeners looking for superior
specimens possessing sublime scent, many-petaled
form, and color tempered by subtlety. Austin's
beautifully photographed, clearly written
guide--offering cultivation requirements, pruning
instructions, an extensive portfolio assessing the
habit of each English rose type--provides information
indispensable to gardeners in general and rose
connoisseurs in particular. Alice Joyce --This
