I am looking for a good basic book on growing roses. One that isn't too expensive. My mother in law is looking for a Christmas gift idea for me and this would be a welcome gift.

American Rose Society Encyclopedia of Roses by Charles Quest-Ritson.

Foolproof Guide to Growing Roses by Field Roebuck.

The Ultimate Rose Book (Including Miniature, and Wild-All Shown in Color and Selected for Their Beauty and Fragrance by Stirling Macoboy.

The Rose Bible by Rayford Clayton Reddell.

and lastly:
