This revised and enlarged edition (previous, 1992), with some 600 new photographs, is the definitive reference on old roses, including species, important hybrids, shrub roses, English roses, and climbers. Several chapters discussing the history and evolution of the rose, the early development of modern roses, and roses in the landscape are followed by a comprehensive dictionary of the genus Rosa , with each species divided into its forms and hybrids and accompanied by abundant color photographs, as well as maps indicating species origins.
