Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A lovely, photo-filled guide to some of the grand dames of the rose world.

Everyone loves roses-no other flower conveys love, sympathy, or loyalty in such a delightful way. The passion for roses has been with us for centuries, ranging from the time of the ancient Persians. And the names-who could resist Petite Lisette, Professeur Emile Perrot, Buff Beauty, Empress Josephine, or Rambling Rector? Old Roses is a beautifully illustrated guide to 33 classic varieties. In addition to a wealth of practical information on cultivation, the book also offers a glimpse of the rose in history, art, perfume, and medicine. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
