Roses are treasured for many reasons; for their captivating beauty, their sweet fragrance, their fascinating history, and as being a symbol of trust, nationhood and love. This book explores the links between the simple wild roses of nature to the earliest roses of civilisation, and tells how the dedication of horticulturalists from many nations has brought into being the full-petalled beauties of today.
