Cultivated around the world for their beauty and their scent, roses do require attention, and so the 50 examples featured here—from Diamond Eyes to Mr. Lincoln—were chosen because they are tried-and-true performers. The second part of the book is devoted to herbs and edible flowers, with information on how to harvest and preserve them. Each entry includes a spectacular full-page color photo, tips for cultivation, and suggestions on how to make these plants a vital part of your garden. Also included here are a glossary, a hardiness zone map, and further advice for gardeners.
