Home Grown Gardening Guide to Best Roses, Herbs and Edible Flowers: Easy Plants for More Beautiful Gardens: 2
Roses have long held a near-mythical status in the garden, synonymous with romance and beauty, and prized by perfumers across the globe for their distinctive, intoxicating scent. Many aspiring growers shy away from them, convinced they demand constant fussing and an arsenal of chemical treatments. This book gently dismantles that assumption. Yes, roses need attention, but the varieties featured here are well-established performers, chosen because they consistently deliver spectacular results without pushing gardeners to their limits. Then there are herbs and edible flowers, plants that occupy a wonderfully practical corner of the garden. People have relied on them for centuries to flavour food, support wellbeing, scent their homes, and extend the life of a harvest. They're quietly extraordinary. Packed with vivid photography, this colourful volume takes a refreshingly straightforward approach to growing all three plant groups. It's aimed squarely at those who want confident results from the outset, rather than learning purely through costly mistakes. Whether you're planning a new garden bed or looking to introduce more variety into an existing space, it offers clear, grounded guidance that you'll return to again and again.
