I even had someone tell me it was impossible to grow roses organically. Thanks for hosting this. I've purchased several of the books that have been reviewed.

I'm pretty sure I will be getting this book. We try to grow our veggies organically so flowers have to follow suit. Very excited about the lists. I think I have to start a personal book registry, same as wedding but books. Have a wonderful Christmas.
