Chances are you will soon encounter one word—\"sustainability.\" Sustainability has, indeed, become the catchword of 21st century gardening. And for tens of millions of environmentally conscious gardeners it has become a \"must\" goal, rapidly being realized as part of the much heralded NEW GARDENING. This means gardening that is consciously aware of the dangerous health and environmental risks posed by using traditional synthetic chemicals and pesticides, and that seeks to return to the principles of Mother Nature, while also growing low-maintenance plants that make fewer demands on environmental resources.\n\nThe Queen of Flowers, the rose—by Presidential declaration Americas National Floral Emblem—was initially left behind as “green consciousness” and the concept of sustainability took hold among the gardening public. But the rose is now making up for lost time. From the workshops of breeders—both in the U.S. and abroad—a new generation of disease-resistant and low-maintenance rose varieties has emerged in the last decade to fill popular demand.\n\nIn this book, you will learn how to make your own sustainable rose garden. With 38 lavishly illustrated articles and descriptions of the best new (as well as old) rose varieties designed for the sustainable rose garden, this is a must-have book for todays new generation of avid but environmentally conscious gardeners.\n\nTable of Contents\n\nForeword - Marilyn Wellan\nIntroduction: Winston \u0026amp; Roses - Pat Shanley\n\nGrowing Tea Roses - Lynne Chapman, Noelene Drage, Di Durston, Jenny Jones, Hillary Merrifield, Billy West\nA Close Look at Tea Roses -Lynne Chapman, Hillary Merrifield and Billy West\nHennessey Revisited: Sustainability, or The Accidental Environmentalist -James Delahanty\nRose Poems by Emily Dickinson -Historic Disease and Pest Control among Roses -Alice Flores\nRose Studies: Watercolors and Drawings Documenting the Genus Rosa -Maria Cecilia Freeman\nTea and Roses -Bill Grant\nEarth-Kind® Rose Trials — Identifying the World’s Strongest, Most Beautiful Landscape Roses - Derald A.
