Summary

This lavishly illustrated volume explores the history of the rose in the context of the Huntington's world-renowned, 100-year-old rose garden. Spanning three acres, this spectacular garden displays more than 1,200 rose species and cultivars, from the ancient roses mentioned by Herodotus, to repeat-blooming roses from China--introduced to the West in the late 18th century--to 21st-century shrub roses developed by English hybridizer David Austin. Rosarian Clair Martin draws on decades of experience to describe the garden's diverse collections, the history and cultivation of the rose, and the legacy of printed materials on this subject. Reproductions of botanical illustrations from the Huntington Library's rare book collections are also included.
