Recommendations please for a detailed book on Roses - in particular their care and maintenance throughout the year. I'm not looking for a publication that lists all types of roses and their merits.
I do have the Rose Expert book by Hessayon which is good but basic so I want a more detailed one.

The Royal National Rose Society publishes a Handbook on " How to Grow Roses " - short but concise
The best book I have is by E Le Grice - " Rose Growing Complete " -published back in the 70's
Very comprehensive - the varieties are out of date in many cases but the cultural advice is still very relevant
Out of print but available second hand from Amazon and others
Enjoy your roses !!0
