Roses Love Garlic: Companion Planting and Other Secrets of Flowers

Give as a Christmas gift..to a avid flower gardner.

I bought "Carrots Love Tomatoes" for a friend who loved the book. I suggested I was going to buy "Roses Love Garlic" but he thought it would basically be the same. Well, he was wrong! I love this book because it explains companion gardening. I didn't even realize that some plants just don't "play" well with other plants, yet thrive when in the company of particular plants. Louise Riotte explains why certain plants do well together or "clash" with other plants. I found it so interesting that certain insects are repelled by certain plants (their fragrance or color in some cases) and if you have an insect problem you can add particular flowers, herbs, or veggies to your flower garden and avoid using poisons. The book is a wealth of information on flowers and goes beyond just growing them. I really like the sections on drying flowers, "traditional remedies," special projects such as making jewelry from flowers or terrariums. Last but certainly not least, are some wonderful garden plans - a fragrant evening garden, an edible flower garden, a butterfly or hummingbird or bee garden, and even a section on plants for the elderly. This truly is a great reference book that I will use and enjoy for years. I think it will make a wonderful gift as well.

Very helpful in learning companion planting bushes and flowers

This book made it much easier when laying out garden plans. It had many hrlpful ideas.

Companion planting that will help your garden thrive.

I bought this book as a gift. The information is great. I was only disappointed that they have split my single book into two books. I had to order the other half after this one arrived.

I'm an extremely practical gardener. My idea of a pretty flower is my eggplants blooming. Having read Carrots love Tomatoes, I was eager to get my hands on Roses as well, imagining all sorts of useful plants with flowers on them. But this book is actually about flowers, the ones people grow just because they're pretty. There's nothing wrong with beauty for beauty's sake, it's just not my style. This book definitely has information that I plan on using, and I highly recommend it for people who actually like flowers on their own.I wish I could have met Louise Riotte, she seems such a fascinating person from her writings.

I received this book as if off the shelf brand new. Love it when a book vendor comes through! 🤓

Fascinating information - excellent purchase will be used time and again.

Great service. Book perfect for my needs. Thank you

I bought it as part of my daughter's birthday gift and she loved it, because she already has it 🤣😂🤣😊Ha...Ha...Ha...so guess who will get it for Christmas ✔✔✔The Book she was looking for was Carrots and Tomatoes by the same author, which I will order today. One little thing...I hope it travels faster than the first book did.😏
