I laugh when I see some of these lists. The best of the best is often ignored.

Some of my choices are more aspirational than practical...
It looks like more have been added. This is a good thing. To me, you have to go far to beat the month-by-month book by the original 'Crockett's Victory Garden', & 'The Country Garden' by Josephine Nuese. There are a couple of others, both old and out of print that I refer to religiously.
Any of the 'Ortho' rose books are an excellent source for rose information & care. These books, in soft cover, are updated every few years to include the newer offerings in the world of roses and are a great resource. In my opinion, they are more thorough than any of the American Rose Society publications.

Ann, everyone can add books to these lists -- feel free to do so! All it takes is clicking on the "add books" tab above (next to "all votes"), performing a search (either from among your own bookshelves or from the entire Goodreads database), and clicking on "vote for this book" for every book you would like to add! :)
Themis-Athena/All thank you for the suggestions. I have added a few contributions most of which do cater for the growing zones in North America. If anyone needs inspiration for being brave about using colour (as I was ) I recommend the Sarah Raven book. Marina Christopher sadly does not seem to be as well know but has written a beautiful book for gardeners like me who have struggled with what to do after the late roses have faded beyond adding a few dahlias.
You're welcome -- it's not my list, though (Laura created it) ... I merely explained how everybody can add books! :)
