About this title

Synopsis

More and more roses are being planted in our gardens, which has led to a revival of interest in older roses and their history. Hazel Le Rougetel spent 15 years visiting the United States, Australia and New Zealand as well as China, India and Europe gathering information on the movement of roses in the past three centuries and she presents here their story, which is a tale both of horticultural and human interest. For the gardener, the author also provides advice on how best to associate these roses with other plants, plan colour schemes and maintain interest in the informal garden.
