Description

RHS The Rose by Brent Elliott

The History of the World’s Favourite Flower in 40 Captivating Roses with Classic Texts and Rare Beautiful Prints by Brent Elliott – Historian, Royal Horticultural Society. The history of the rose is revealed through 40 of the most popular and interesting species and hybrids in a beautifully illustrated book, each one accompanied by a high-quality print for framing.

Bringing to life the arrival of each rose in European gardens, the book explores the various myths that have grown up about the history and introduction of roses and the confusion over identification in the Renaissance. Learn about the layout of rose gardens, and the role that roses play in the “language of flowers”. Captivating botanical illustrations and extracts from classical texts in the world-famous Lindley Library, such as Redoute’s Les Roses, Henry Andrew’s Roses, Mary Lawrence’s Selection of Roses and Victor Paquet’s Choix des Plus Belles Roses, make this an illuminating celebration of our most popular flower.
