Historic Roses Volume 1

Historical roses captivate with their unparalleled charm, fragrance, and unique play of colors. In this book, rose experts Hella Brumme and Eilike Vemmer portray the 349 varieties of the Gallica, Damask, Alba, Centifolia, and Moss rose classes at the Europa-Rosarium Sangerhausen, the world's most important rose garden. The original historical descriptions were compared with the varieties planted in the rose garden, and the class characteristics were contrasted on clear plates. Common confusions were also clarified. A unique encyclopedia for collectors, amateur, and professional gardeners.
