Old Garden Roses, Modern Garden Roses and Wild Roses have been selected for their popularity, beauty, historical interest, fame and fragrance. Every rose is illustrated, and is accompanied by details of its appearance, parentage, character, fragrance and history.
In addition to the rose entries, this book includes special sections that highlight different aspects of the rose such as its history and its impact on the civilizations of the world.

Further sections give practical advice on the cultivation of roses and designing rose gardens.

This informative and well illustrated large hardback is in good condition with pages clean and tightly bound. I'd have rated it higher if not for some marks to the edges of the closed pages. Dust cover shows a few signs of use/storage as per photos 1 & 10 including a little wear to the top edge of the spine and an indentation at the top edge of the front. And the hardcover itself has minor rubbing of its green material covering to some areas along it's top and bottom edges, mostly at the spine. There is also a dedication at the top of the Contents page.
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].
