Summary

Romantic blooms for novice, expert, or armchair rose gardeners。

Who wouldn't be romanced by names like Lovely Fairy, Desdemona, Elegantyne, Anne Boleyn, Leonardo da Vinci, and Blue for You? Vintage roses encompass both the true "old" roses and the best of the "modern" roses, developed to celebrate the classic, ageless, enduring beauty of the old varieties。

The 60 specially selected specimens include those that have the best visual appearance and most fragrant perfume, and are also easy to grow and produce beautiful flowers for cutting。

The perfect mix of engaging, inspirational commentary and no-fuss gardening notes shows that roses can be grown and enjoyed by all--whether a novice, an expert, or an armchair rose gardener。

Jane Eastoe's previous books include Elizabeth: Reigning in Style, Fabulous Frocks, and a series of guidebooks for The National Trust (UK) on everything budding homesteaders need to know, from Henkeeping to Home-Grown Fruit。

Georgianna Lane is a leading floral, garden, and travel photographer whose work has been published internationally in such magazines as The New Yorker, BBC Gardens Illustrated, Britain magazine, Romantic Homes, and Gardener's World (UK)。

So gorgeous。 The perfect coffee table book, particularly for those who love flowers and gardens。

*sigh* A rose gardener came and gave a talk at my school, with a slide projector and everything。 I was one of 4 or 5 attendees。 He was an immigrant from Iran, a doctor (Dr。 Henry Najat) who loved roses and was able to coax them to thrive in our harsh midwestern area。 Someday I want to have my own garden, but for now I'll settle for a miniature rose pot on my desk at work。 *sigh* A rose gardener came and gave a talk at my school, with a slide projector and everything。 I was one of 4 or 5 attendees。 He was an immigrant from Iran, a doctor (Dr。 Henry Najat) who loved roses and was able to coax them to thrive in our harsh midwestern area。 Someday I want to have my own garden, but for now I'll settle for a miniature rose pot on my desk at work。 。。。more

Exquisite photographs of stunning roses, some antique, many introduced by modern English rose breeder David Austin。 I got this in hopes of learning more about Old Rose varieties, but I'm afraid by reading it I've been converted into a fan of David Austin as well。 In otherwords, if you're only interested in learning about old varieties, this may not be the book for you, but if you want to see gorgeous blooms beautifully photographed, with a little information on history, aspect, and care, this bo Exquisite photographs of stunning roses, some antique, many introduced by modern English rose breeder David Austin。 I got this in hopes of learning more about Old Rose varieties, but I'm afraid by reading it I've been converted into a fan of David Austin as well。 In otherwords, if you're only interested in learning about old varieties, this may not be the book for you, but if you want to see gorgeous blooms beautifully photographed, with a little information on history, aspect, and care, this book is a wonderful choice。 It's one of the few "coffee table books" I've ever read cover to cover。 。。。more

I can devour garden books like candy。 Most of my gardening knowledge (what little I possess) was gleaned from reading extensively on the subject。 I was most excited to "inhale" this book since vintage roses are one of my weaknesses。 There's a lot of good information between the covers but I was a bit confused about the contents。 With a title "Vintage Roses" I thought the entire book would be devoted to Old Garden variety roses which are of particular interest to me。 However, the author has chose I can devour garden books like candy。 Most of my gardening knowledge (what little I possess) was gleaned from reading extensively on the subject。 I was most excited to "inhale" this book since vintage roses are one of my weaknesses。 There's a lot of good information between the covers but I was a bit confused about the contents。 With a title "Vintage Roses" I thought the entire book would be devoted to Old Garden variety roses which are of particular interest to me。 However, the author has chosen to include a number of new Hybrid Tea varieties which seems slightly misleading。 There are only a handful of pages of substantive reading ~ the bulk of the book is two page spreads featuring specific roses (one side of the page, info ~ the other side, a photo。)To be fair, it would be a behemoth task to write a book encompassing all the Old Garden roses in the world。 This one barely skims the surface。 It's a beautiful coffee table book tho & the photographs (even if you're not a reader) are inspiring。 I imagine I will flip thru this one many times over the upcoming winter months & dream about my garden returning to life & perhaps adding a new rose or two to it。 。。。more
