“ One of the readiest and most complete manuals published on the cultivation of the 
rose. ” — Standard. 
“We have great pleasure in thoroughly recommending to our readers Mr. Hibberd’s 
‘ Bose Book.’ It is written by one who has fully mastered the subject, and the 
directions he gives are of that practical utility so much needed.” — Journal of 
Horticulture. 
“Mr. ITibberd writes in such a clear, practical, common sense way, that we do not 
hesitate to affirm that it is the amateur’s own fault if he fail to profit largely by his 
study of the rose book. Every rose grower should possess it. It is an elegant volume. 
The coloured illustrations are beautiful. ’’—Literary World. 
“Tire work is eminently clear, earnest, and instructive. Every idea, plan, and 
notion of propagation and growing roses appears to be touched upon. A perusal of 
Mr. Hibberd’s pages will not only assist the amateur grower, but will also prevent 
many disappointments.”- — Lloyd’s Weekly News. 
“ It is a sound practical work, brimful of excellent advice, and possesses the merit of 
being as useful to the amateur of small as of large means.” — Leeds Mercury.
