Story4 out of 5 stars 1
Perennials are the backbone of the garden - a low-maintenance, long-growing mainstay that the garden revolves around. I've worked with perennials for 20 years, as a manager in the perennials section at the local nursery, and then as a municipal horticulturist in charge of more than 20 gardens around the city. I've grown perennials from seed, potted them bare-rooted, divided them, deadheaded them, treated them for diseases and pests. Everything I've learned over the years I share here in this book - Perennial Classics.

The rose is the Queen of Flowers. Roses are beautiful, fragrant, and elegant - and they require all the pampering of a real queen, don't they? Actually, they don't! Rose gardening can be easy and pleasant. I've worked 25 years in horticulture and cared for over 300 roses in a public rose garden when I was municipal horticulturist. I found ways to keep rose gardening fuss-budgetry to a minimum while growing vigorous roses that bloomed their heads off. Rose to the Occasion shares tricks and shortcuts that rosarians use.

A must for any homeowner
I bought this randomly not expecting much from it and was pleasantly surprised. The writing of the book lends itself very well to an audio book format. The narration was by far the best I've heard from an audio book and really showed the emotion of the author very well. I'm not a huge lawn guy, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this book and actually retained a lot of the knowledge from the book. In fact I went from not caring too much about my lawn to being excited about it. Highly recommended for any house owner.
