1: You need this on your shelf!
I hesitate to call any reference book a "Bible", as the term is overused, but it may apply in this instance.
Excellent resource for experts and novices alike. A must have for the serious rosarian.

2: Best of the Best
Without a doubt this is my favorite book on Roses. There are numerous wonderful books on Roses - but I NOW could not live without this book. Simply great information such as the size of the rose bloom, whether the particular rose is once-blooming or a repeat-bloomer, strengths and defects, year introduced, etc., such useful and interesting details. From me, a big "Thank You" to Charles and Brigid Quest-Ritson for writing and putting this book together!

3: 1st Edition of The American Rose Society Encyclopedia
It would be difficult to over praise this excellent encyclopedia. The photography is outstanding; the descriptions of roses intense yet easily understood, and the added features on various rose breeders and their histories are so helpful. The introduction directs the reader on how to use the book to best advantage. Yes, a marvelous book, this first edition of The American Rose Society.

5: Great Reference guide!
This book is the greatest reference book you can have. There are over 2000 roses described, each with pictures, with everyting you would need to know such as average height and width (and height range based on climate), blooming period, fragrance, any drawbacks the flower has or any disaes susceptibility, and other names the rose is known by.
This is the book to go to if you read about a rose or go to a website with no picture and need to look up the color and size characteristics.
This is THE rose encyclopedia!
