BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF ROSES!

I'm a florist and I really enjoy using this book when I'm meeting with Wedding clients. It displays a large variety of different types of roses-great for the people who think of a rose as a single, red stem.

Wow...this is a great book

I heard of this book while flipping through a magazine. Decided to give it a try and I love it. If you love having flowers in your home, than you have to have this book. The author really knows her stuff, and I love the pictures.

not just another pretty flower book

The photographs are so pretty. I gave several as a gift at a lunch the other day. However, the best thing about this little book is the information about roses and how to arrange them. It also provides names of every rose used and good alternatives to garden roses which are not readily available from my florist. I was able to overcome my fear of doing flowers for the first party in my new house! My husband thinks I should change careers.
