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!

In truth, I didn't find Best Roses all that helpful. Maybe it's because the focus is more on roses than anything else. Out of the 263 pages, the first 116 are all about identifying specific roses. There is one recipe for rose hip jam and how to transplant a rose before moving on to soil Ph, soil nutrients, propagation, and creating an aromatic garden. It isn't until page 129 when you dig into herbs and edible flowers. The book ends with a primer on how to harvest and preserve herbs, a glossary, a hardiness zone map, credits for the gorgeous photograph, and an index. ( )
