Follow this link on Amazon - or if that doesn't work, search
'encyclopedia of roses' there. I very much doubt that it's the same
book as Modern Roses XI.

The reason you mightn't have seen much from the ARS about it is that the
book is a re-badge of the original work, which comes from the RHS (Royal
Horticultural Society) in the UK. The RHS version is what's sold in
Australia, but they're identical apparently.
