SHIPPING OFFERED
'Roses: A Celebration' - Thirty-Three Eminent Gardeners On Their Favourite Roses edited by Wayne Winterrowd in excellent condition.
The blurb:- "What is this rose", the great rosarian Graham Stuart Thomas asks, "that enslaves gardeners?"...Why, in short, does everyone love a rose, and what has it to offer that other flowers lack?
Wayne Winterrowd posed this question to thirty-two eminent fellow gardeners, who join him in giving their highly original and engaging responses in this book.
Winterrowd's contributors constitute a Who's Who of contemporary garden writers. Their highly personal essays are rich with reminiscence, with prejudice, with love remembered or recently experienced and sometimes with cantankerous personal opinion. Many offer fascinating historical information or valuable tips on culture (Fergus Garrett even provides two family recipes using rose petals). All of them, whether with new passion or grudging admiration, celebrate the rose, a flower that has been treasured since pre-history and is reinvented in every generation.
These spellbinding accounts are magnificently complemented by Pamela Stagg's vibrant watercolours. 'Roses' is a handsome gift for any gardener, and essential reading for anyone who loves roses.
Contents pages showing the eminent gardeners involved are shown in photos 3 & 4.
This interesting hardback is in excellent condition with pages clean and tightly bound. It would actually be in pretty much new condition if not for a few minor marks to the dust cover as per photos 1 & 2.
262 pages. Published by Frances Lincoln Ltd in 2003. ISBN 978-1******3511-9. [Approx 24 x 19.5 x 2.8cms & 920g]
Also have some other gardening books listed separately at present including a few others specifically on roses. Happy for prospective buyers to check them all out to ascertain which they might like.
Please note:-
- Inspections welcome.
- Best to phone [three&two zero&nine seven&one eight&two] if you are keen to collect. I don't use a mobile and often only get to check messages late in the evening, so please check your email for replies [they sometimes end up in your Spam folder].
- No Paypal [sorry]
