A quick-reference guide to roses, herbs, and edible flowers for
gardeners with little experience and time.
Roses represent love and beauty. Their colors and fragrance create the
standard by which many other flowers are measured. Cultivated around the
world for perfume, roses have a sweet and unforgettable scent. However,
many would-be rose gardeners believe that roses require constant care
and lavish doses of sprays and chemicals. Roses do require attention,
but their glorious flowers make all your efforts worthwhile, and the
roses in this book were chosen because they are tried-and-true, proven
performers.
Of the many types of plants that grow in our gardens, herbs and edible
flowers hold a very special place. People use herbs and edible flowers
to heal their bodies, calm their minds, add fragrance to their homes,
and flavor and preserve their foods--herbs improve the quality of our
lives.
This colorful, photo-filled book takes the guesswork out of gardening
with the easiest-to-grow and best-performing roses, herbs, and edible
flowers. No trial and error--get it right the first time!
