Not necessarily! The sexy rose books, which list colour photos and
descriptions (though not too damning) of each rose, are easily $50, and
people buy them. I know I did!
There is a book simply titled "Iris" with a grey cover that I've seen at
the bookstores. Leafed through it a long time ago, wasn't too
impressed, but maybe it's OK... has anyone seen this book?
