Short description

Horizon Roses, published annually for nearly 40 years, is a compilation of comments by the nation's top exhibitors on the exhibition potential of the newest hybrid teas, floribundas, miniflora and miniature roses. For most exhibitors, it has long been considered an indispensible guide to buying new show roses.

Extended description

Horizon Roses 2011 contains 2,138 reports on 313 roses by 85 reporters. The reports include 67 new roses not mentioned in prior issues. All comments are candid and reported in the words of the reporter (with some abbreviation and condensation). The reports are set forth alphabetically and include statistics of the show results of the reported varieties. In addition, information is provided on known sources for the reviewed varieties.

Horizon Roses is produced entirely by volunteers under the direction of Bob Martin, National Editor and nine regional editors. The regional editors solicit and compile the comments from selected top exhibitors in their region and forward them for final compilation.

Review by: satish prabhu on Jan. 31, 2012 :
Horizon Roses- edited by Robert Martin-2011 edition of Horizon roses, as all of these annually published editions is a superb compilation of newly introduced exhibition roses. Frequently, there is information on where one might be able to buy a rose listed in this book. Hundreds of experienced and new exhibitors try out these roses in their own garden, before reporting on how well the bushes grow and perform in all parts of the country. They comment on disease resistance, flowering habits and form and color. Although primarily written to help exhibitors select which new roses to plant, one need not be an exhibitor to make good use of this book. If you are considering planting a rose garden or adding more roses to your existing garden, why not plant the roses planted by America's best rose growers and exhibitors! Highly recommended. *****
