First published in 1869, Dean Hole's classic 'A Book About Roses' ran into numerous editions, with regular revisions, updates and changes in illustrations. This 1909 edition (25th impression) has fine binding with the red cloth cover featuring decorative pattern of roses in 2 colours, and titles on front and spine in gold. Cover is worn and bumped along edges, at corners, and at spine hinges. Binding intact. Attractive Ex Libris plate dated 1909 pasted inside front cover. Text (300 pp inc Appendix) very good. Nine illustrations, including drawing by John Leech, the rest being reproductions of watercolours (in b & w) and pen & ink drawings by George Elgood (1851–1943). There are also some engraved diagrams in the text with regard to showing roses, at which Dean Hole (1819–1904) became an expert. Pages have been cut, so edges are uneven.
