Encyclopedia of Roses
The new Royal Horticultural Society Enyclopedia of Roses is out. (There
is a rebadged version by the American Rose Society sold in the US). I've just found it here in Oz - looks like Dymocks and Angus & Robertson are selling it for A$75 or so. That's got me covered for Christmas this year! Has anyone actually got the book? Both sites say it's shipping now although the publication date is allegedly 31 December 2003. It's definitely shipping in the UK and US. |

Could this be "Modern Roses XI"?
It has been available in the US for more than a year. One feature I particulary like is the CD. It includes all the information in the printed volume and is very convient to search. I don't recall seeing anything from the American Rose Society about an new encyclopedia. Tim "Daniel Hanna" wrote in message home.com.au...

The RHS version is what's sold in Australia, but they're identical apparently. |

You are correct, this is a new publication.
It does NOT show up at the ARS web site! Tim "Daniel Hanna" wrote in message home.com.au...

No, this is a new book by Charles Quest-Ritson, president of the UK rose Society. It's actually very impressive, with lovely photos and some good pithy comments.
