I particularly appreciate that it gives equal space to old roses, shrub roses, and species, as the round of hybrid teas grows tiresome to the eye and these plants deserve far more garden space than they receive. Overall, best used as a visual aid for form--color, as in any book, is subject to the vagaries of nature and photography.
