Ok rosomanes, here's THE book on current scientific research on roses,
and it's only a piffling $512 dollars. But you get three volumes of
exciting stuff like "Galls Induced by Cynpid Wasps," and "Postharvest
Physiology: Effects of Ethylene and Inhibition of Ethylene Action."

Seriously, it does have articles on things like rose cultivation
history, rose diseases, nutrition and pests.

If you want the $512 price, you'd better hurry. Three months after
publication the price goes up to $640.

Is this a tome primarily for greenhouse rose growers?

And is this a Brittish publication edited by the Cornell professor who
edited the Compendium of Rose Diseases? Some initial Kenneth Horst or
something like that?
