a wonderful book. Growing Wonder is absolutely inspiring, and I can sense Felicia's enthusiasm for
roses on every page as she shares her contagious passion – a passion that made
me want to grow more and more roses. I love her journey with roses and how they
have been so present during her life. I am sure Felicia's roses chose her to be

"When
it comes to roses, Felicia is the authority. Before meeting her I HATED roses
and intentionally removed every rose bush from every property I ever owned. I
didn't even like them in vases. Then I met Felicia and my world changed! She
introduced me to the true beauty and diversity of roses beyond the supermarket,
and once I saw and sniffed my first David Austin I was hooked! Growing Wonder is the
perfect resource for anyone interested in learning how to cultivate and grow
their own garden roses." --
