Few flowers come in as many colors as the beloved rose. Curated by award-winning rosarian Danielle Dall’Armi Hahn, who personally owns more than 40,000 roses, the flowers in The Color of Roses were selected not only for their glorious and subtle color combinations but also for optimal availability, repeat blooming, disease resistance, improved vase life, and fragrance.
Organized by color, these 300 full-page photos take you on a journey through all the marvelous shades of white, yellow, pink, peach, purple, orange, red, caramel, and even green blossoms—not to mention striped and bicolor. This modern compilation of the world’s 300 most beautiful roses includes the essential statistics for each one, including name, plant type and size, breeder, and more to help gardeners, rose lovers, and floral designers discover their new favorite.
Roses have been treasured for centuries. They bloom from spring until frost, in virtually all but the most frigid zones and in a great range of varieties to suit every taste. The Color of Roses is the ultimate guide for selecting the perfect color rose for your garden, special event, or floral arrangement.

Hahn, a recognized expert on roses and the owner of Rose Story Farm, has created a catalog of 300 recommended roses, each on its own page accompanied by a photograph. After a brief introduction, the roses are organized by color, starting with the palest varieties and moving through to the darker shades. Each entry contains the rose name, breeder, type of plant, size, floriferousness, and fragrance level. Pearson's photographs are detailed, clear, and vivid; any imperfections on the gorgeous blooms are included. The roses are not divided into sections, so readers will have to page through to find the color they seek. Given the beauty of the images, they probably won't mind. VERDICT Recommended as a secondary purchase for libraries with a large gardening collection.--Judy Poyer
