Editorials
The New York Times Book Review
This is a commendably manageable short guide to the history of old roses, with a selection of some of the most choice varieties. ....Each rose gets a handsome photograph, along with a rundown of its ancestry and its habits, while at the back there is a useful appendix on planting and pruning, along with a list of gardens where you may see collections of old roses, and another for suppliers. ....[T]his little book seems an ideal beginner's guide. ü Penelope LivelyBook Details
