Renowned American historian and leading horticulturalist Francis Parkman (1823-1893), briefly a Professor of Horticulture at Harvard University and President of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, wrote "The Book of Roses" specifically for American rose enthusiasts. The book contains information on the culture, training and propagation of roses, as well as descriptions of rose families, groups, and best varieties. According to Parkman biographer Howard Doughty, "[Parkman] was among the foremost of American rose-growers. He is said to have had at one time over a thousand varieties in his garden, and "The Book of Roses," which he published in 1866, was for many years a standard manual of the subject." Beautiful black-and-white illustrations accompany the text.

Roses, pleasure and politics: a fresh take on Orwell as an avid gardener, whose political writing was grounded in his passion for the natural world. 'I loved this book... An exhilarating romp through Orwell's life and times' Margaret Atwood 'Expansive and thought-provoking' Independent Outside my work the thing I care most about is gardening - George Orwell Inspired by her encounter with the surviving roses that Orwell is said to have planted in his cottage in Hertfordshire, Rebecca Solnit explores how his involvement with plants, particularly flowers, illuminates his other commitments as a writer and antifascist, and the intertwined politics of nature and power. Following his journey from the coal mines of England to taking up arms in the Spanish Civil War; from his prescient critique of Stalin to his analysis of the relationship between lies and authoritarianism, Solnit finds a more hopeful Orwell, whose love of nature pulses through his work and actions. And in her dialogue with the author, she makes fascinating forays into colonial legacies in the flower garden, discovers photographer Tina Modotti's roses, reveals Stalin's obsession with growing lemons in impossibly cold conditions, and exposes the brutal rose industry in Colombia. A fresh reading of a towering figure of the 20th century which finds solace and solutions for the political and environmental challenges we face today, Orwell's Roses is a remarkable reflection on pleasure, beauty, and joy as acts of resistance. 'Luminous...It is efflorescent, a study that seeds and blooms, propagates thoughts, and tends to historical associations' New Statesman 'A genuinely extraordinary mind, whose curiosity, intelligence and willingness to learn seem unbounded' Irish Times

Flower of legend and mystery, the rose has inspired great artists throughout history. From Antiquity to the present day, poets have sung its beauties, sculptors and artists have sought to depict its delicacy, and perfumers have drawn on its subtle and captivating scent. From Roman banquets strewn with rose petals to Medieval poems of courtly love; from Madame de Pompadour's delightful rose-strewn interiors to finely woven rose-motif fabrics for the Vanderbilt summer residence; from Monet's magical garden at Giverny to Colette's favorite "Maiden's Blush"; from contemporary wedding cake decoration to bouquets by Europe's finest florists-- "The Book of Roses" invites rose-lovers to sit back and indulge in the beauty of the rose in all its splendor. No other flower in the world is as greatly loved as the rose. With its heady perfume and timeless appeal, the rose is more than a pretty bloom-- it is an enchantment for all the senses. This beautifully illustrated homage will delight all rose-lovers with its thematic chapters inviting us to enjoy the queen of flowers in her many guises. "The Book of Roses "retraces stories and legends from across the ages in which the rose takes pride of place, and examines its age-old role as political and religious emblem, and as a symbol of human emotion and experience, from fidelity to loss of innocence, from love to death. The beauty and diversity of the rose is shown at its finest in its natural environment, the garden, but also in floral displays in the home; in art, design, and fashion; in fragrances and perfumes; and in refined recipes for the gourmet. "The Book of Roses" is completed by an address book listing a selection of the best rosegardens, nurseries, exhibitions and shows, and rose-inspired florists, decorators, fashion designers, fragrances, and food stores from around the world.

Two East Texas families must deal with the aftermath of a marriage that never happened leading to deceit, secrets, and tragedies in a sweeping multigenerational Southern saga "with echoes of Gone with the Wind." (Publishers Weekly) Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber and cotton industries, controlled by the scions of the town's founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and now must deal with consequences of their momentous choice and the loss of what might have been--not just for themselves but for their children, and their children's children. With expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling, Roses covers a hundred years, three generations of Texans, and the explosive combination of passion for work and longing for love.
