Omschrijving
A beautifully illustrated and unique history of the “queen of flowers” in art, medicine, cuisine, and more
“The social, cultural and horticultural history of the rose is entertainingly and thoughtfully displayed in this exquisitely produced hardback title...The narrative in the nine chapters, each usefully distilled into bite-sized sections, takes a world view on the rose's rise to fame.”—Garden News
"Packed with so many fascinating stories and facts...I would recommend Rosa: The Story of the Rose as a gift for anyone who loves flowers, although once purchased you would find it hard to pass on!"—Judith Blacklock, Flora Magazine
Winner of the top literary award from the World Federation of Rose Societies
“The authors present the most comprehensive exploration of the evolution, development, impact and importance of roses from antiquity to present times that I have ever found.”—Gaye Hammond, Past President of the Houston Rose Society
“Rosa emphasizes the wonder of the rose by tracing the many ways it has shaped cultures around the world. It is wonderfully and richly illustrated.”—Michael Marriott, Senior Rosarian at David Austin Roses, and Rose Garden Designer
“Rich in fascinating cultural history, Rosa takes us on a joyous visual romp through the stories and symbolism of the most iconic of all garden flowers.”—Peter Crane, author of Ginkgo: The Tree that Time Forgot
