Martin, a well-known rosarian, covers every aspect of caring for old roses, including selecting, planting, mulching, pruning, and deadheading. The book features a superb guide to the 100 varieties of roses best suited for American gardens, ranging from Gallicas and Damasks to Bourbons, Albas, and Teas.
