Roses are perhaps the most popular of all garden plants. In this text, Tony Lord explores the versatility of roses. The text is illustrated with mostly his own photographs, which show how to choose, use and cultivate roses for various situations - from mixed borders to containers, for flower and kitchen gardens, boundaries and elegant screens, and from tiny terraces to country plots. Practical techniques, planting plans, lists of the best roses for specific purposes, and lists of good companion plants complete the book's coverage.
