Easy Roses for North American Gardens
by Thomas Christopher
There's a revolution going on in the world of roses. A new type of rose is emerging as a popular alternative to the varieties which demand painstaking care, complicated pruning rituals, and often a bed of their own. "Easy Roses for North American Gardens" showcases these breakthrough beauties in stunning photographs and describes their many virtues. Commonly called "landscape roses", these types of roses have been bred to mix in easily with other plants in a bed or to serve as landscape shrubs (where they prove just as accommodating as azaleas and lilacs). They have disease-resistant foliage that remains healthy without constant spraying, are reliably cold hardy or heat and humidity tolerant, and need only a trim now and then to keep them looking their best.
