Home Gardener’s Guide to Growing Desert Roses

The desert rose is a beautiful plant that growers globally collect and cultivate for its signature wide variety of incredible flower types and bulbous root formations. The desert rose is notorious for needing the TLC of a more experienced gardener, making it more difficult for the humble home gardener to grow, with only dribs and drabs of info being offered online and in books. That is, until now: Cath Grimshaw’s Home Gardener’s Guide to Growing Desert Roses is the definitive guide to growing your chosen variety of desert rose in your very own garden, with ease and confidence.

This guidebook is printed on a beautiful satin paper and brimming with full colour photographs to aid the visual reader. Cath details every part of the process of selecting, purchasing, and growing your desert rose, with clear instructions, diagrams, and photographs to illustrate. For the desert rose amateur, this book shows you more than just how to grow a desert rose; within the pages of this book are also trouble-shooting guides for dealing with every possible pest from scale to curly grub; guides on grafting your desert rose onto new rootstock; and information about potting and repotting for different climates and soil types. 

Cath Grimshaw has been a gardener from a young age, and currently owns and runs—with her gardener husband—Grimshaw’s Nursery in the city of Charters Towers, Queensland. A love of the beautiful desert rose has seen the Grimshaws perfect their growing technique over the years, and their nursery specialises in adeniums (desert roses). Now, with the release of Home Gardener’s Guide to Growing Desert Roses, the beautiful adenium can be the next show-stopper in your garden.
