From the Author . . .,
This review is from: Old Roses: The Master List (Paperback)
When I began studying Old Roses seriously, in 1983, I found that, in order to do my work efficiently and to achieve valid results, I needed to have at hand a complete and accurate listing of them, including their basic data such as correct name, synonymy, breeder/introducer, date, classification, parentage when known, and some indication as to the basic color--all of this for all the old roses known to rose culture before 1920--not just those grown today, not just those the legends of which live on though the varieties themselves might be extinct--but *all* of them, obscure or famous, still here or long gone. No such listing was then available, no such listing had ever been available. I decided to make one myself. As my researches developed, I assiduously kept revising this master list to reflect the progress made such that it can be said that none of my books has received more continuous attention than *Old Roses: The Master List*. Researchers and students of old rose history will find that this book paves the way to a much clearer understanding of the complicated and knotty--but always fascinating--world of Old Roses.
