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?

Holy crap. I'll wait until I can find it at alibris.com for fifteen bucks.

No. The editors of this set are Andrew Roberts, Thomas Debener
and Serge Gudin.

The publisher is Elsevier Academic Press.

I wold guess it is aimed at academic rose researchers. Only a major
academic library could afford it! Our librarian here sent me the
promo literature just for laughs.

At that cost, you'd think they had at least a secondary market in line,
like the professional greenhouse rose growers. Google picks up
interesting articles sometimes on studies done on the most arcane,
minute subjects, the kind of thing only a corporation with some dough
would finance if it had money at stake. I usually can't read them
because they are a professional association. Their security isn't
great, so sometimes a get a peek.
