Chatting Books Online Day 316. Today's recommended book is 'Empress of the Garden" by G. Michael Shoup.
With all the dreary weather we have had followed by a sudden warm day you may be looking around your garden and wishing you could do something to get started with springtime gardening. The truth is other than a bit of clean up there is very little we can do for most plants in our region right now. We certainly wouldn't want to plant anything too tender when another cold snap could be around the corner. But this cold January/ February time frame is the perfect time to prune your existing roses and plant new bare root roses to fill your garden with beauty and fragrance all summer long. With that in mind I recommend this book to help you make your selections. Whether you want climbing or grandi-flora, red, pink, or yellow this book gives lots of information and beautiful full color photos to help you choose. The book itself is an oversized square coffee table book so even if you never cultivate the first rose (which of course you will) the book alone will bring some sunshine and beauty to your day.
With 208 beautiful full color pages this book sells for $39.00 a copy.
