"Celebrating the very best of roses, including the right varieties to choose and how to grow them

With more than 30,000 different types of roses available to gardeners across the world, how do you find the right one for your garden?

A rose is one of the most beautiful, versatile, and rewarding plants that a gardener can grow. RHS Roses is a joyous celebration of this garden icon, which brings together stunning photography of rose gardens and displays from across the world with practical, expert advice on how to choose, grow, and enjoy roses in any garden, anywhere.

Far more than a basic guide to rose cultivation, this invaluable guide teaches gardeners how they can make the most of their garden's unique qualities, from practical considerations like soil and climate to the mood and style of the space. The ""rose selector"" section showcases 200 varieties best-suited to particular uses, such as for scent, borders, cutting, or supporting wildlife.

Combining author Michael Marriott's expertise and insight with stunning photography, RHS Roses is the ideal book for gardeners who love, grow, and want to know more about their favourite flower."

My horizons have just been widened by a book based on wide experience and practical authority, RHS Roses by Michael Marriott...It is ideal for anyone wanting advice and a way through the proliferating jungle of roses. -- Robin Lane Fox * Financial Times * A must-have for any budding rosarian, the author of this paean to the rose was a familiar face at David Austin Roses for several decades and has an encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of rose care and the countless number of varieties, historic and modern. The book suggests what to choose for different situations, from mixed borders to walls and pergolas, with chapters focusing on hips, leaves and thorns, scent an those best suited to cutting for the vase. -- Rachel de Thame * The Sunday Times *
