From the Publisher
“This
book is full of research, first-hand knowledge, and a bit of humor. It’s a
wonderful guide for the South Florida rose gardener.”—Annee Nelson, Nelson’s Florida Roses
“There
has always been a dearth of information on growing roses in semitropical
climates. Victor Lazzari’s book goes a long way toward filling that need. South
Florida gardeners should find it quite interesting and useful in planning their
own rose gardens.”—Malcolm M. Manners, Florida Southern College
“Both
novice and experienced gardeners will discover a great deal of valuable
information in this guide. Matched with Lazzari’s excellent photography, one
could not ask for more concise information to successfully grow roses in this region.”—Clair
Martin, curator emeritus, Huntington Rose Garden
“Lazzari
blends his extensive knowledge of roses and garden design with humor in his
writings. Beginners and experienced rose growers will find this book
informative and quite useful in making selections for their gardens.”—William
Langford, consulting rosarian
and horticulture judge, American Rose Society
“At last, a publication that gives the average South Florida gardener a
place to start for including roses in the landscape while offering the seasoned
rosarian new insights about widely available and obscure rose cultivars.”—Matthew
Orwat, UF/IFAS horticulture extension agent, Washington County, Florida
