Aprašymas

A pocket-sized guide to roses - the perfect companion for any keen gardeners or florists.

Roses, with their romantic red petals and intoxicating scent, have long been associated with the flush of true love. Gifting these beautiful flowers can serve as a declaration, apology, or commitment, without speaking any words at all.

In the first section to this celebratory guide to roses, readers will discover the history of the plant and its cultivation in the unfolding story of the flower. The second chapter focuses on the folklore, legend, symbolism, art and the Victorian language of flowers, including the mythological tale behind how Aprodite's love for Adonis turned the roses red.

After journeying through the flower's intriguing past and associations, the next chapter identifies the different types of roses, from the classic Mister Lincoln to the mysterious Black Baccara. The final chapter explores practical advice on growing, propagating and caring for flowers in the garden.
