Doug
A year of Roses is an excellent reference book for rose gardeners of all varieties. The author conveniently breaks the book down in chapters by month. This allows one to quickly reference what should be done at a certain time of year. I read this book one chapter a month over the course of the year and my roses were the beneficiary. It is certain that I will refer back to this book frequently for years to come. I give this book my highest recommendation.

The best book on the culture of roses that is available.
Stephen Scanniello's love for the rose comes across in the way he cares for his roses. His book is neither a coffee table book or a "dry" instructional tome. This is a book you take out in the garden with you. You and Stephen pratice together what is going to make your rose garden look like you always wanted it to be.

Invaluable Rose care book
Well written guide to caring for roses - how to prune; graft; fertilize; steal cuttings. Written by the Brooklyn Botanical garden director. He has published some excellent guides to roses (maybe other plants too, don't remember).
Worth having - I borrowed from library about 4 times before I bought my own well used copy.
