SHIPPING OFFERED
'Valerie Swane's Rose Book' in very good condition.
The blurb:- 'Valerie Swane's Rose Book' is the essential guide to everything the rose grower and fancier needs to know about rose propagation, cultivation and care.
Over 130 roses are beautifully illustrated in full colour, alongide detailed information on landscape use, maintenance requirements and conditions needed for optimum growth. Each featured rose has been specifically selected for its resistance to disease, the ease with which it can be grown and, of course, its beauty.
In addition, this book provides sound practical advice based on the Swane family's seventy-five years of experience as nurserymen. There are tips on planning a rose garden, general planting instructions, pruning, and a dedicated appendix on treatments for common pest and disease problems.
Prepared by Valerie Swane shortly before her death in 1993, this book is both an invaluable reference guide to roses and a tribute to the author's lifelong devotion to this much loved flower.
