“Preface: The basis of successful rose growing consists of healthy soil conditions, adequate drainage and the maintenance of optimum soil moisture.  Given these most roses will grow and flower well with little attention, particularly in spring.  However, for really worthwhile colourful results, try to give them extra care to which they respond so readily – the right pruning, manuring, and spraying.
All of these factors are discussed briefly in this book.  For a summary of monthly work in the rose garden study the middle pages.”
