DVD Reviews of Secrets of the Rose Gardener - The Art of Rose Gardening
DVD Review: Unconventional but educational
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike most instructional videos (dvd) which have a static camera trained on an instructor giving step by step details, this one offers a different approach. The cameras follow Ellen Minet, rosarian for the rose garden at Long Island's Coe Estate, and her volunteer assistants as they tend the 700+ roses through all four seasons. As they plant, fertilize, water, spray, prune and deadhead the roses, they offer practical advice for the viewer. The garden's collection includes all types of roses (hybrid tea, shrub, old roses, climbers and ramblers) and she explains the different techniques that each rose requires. The photography is exceptional (beautiful tight close-ups) and this is an excellent course for the beginning rose gardener. The dvd also includes a segment on how to sharpen pruners, a photo gallery of interior shots of the Coe mansion, a rose gallery slide show and descriptive text of various rose growing techniques.
