Book Description

Publication Date: May 2002

No other flower rivals the rose in allure or popularity. The Rose is an exquisitely illustrated celebration of this most beloved of flowers. Originally published at $50; over 30 thousand copies sold.

"This book takes the meaning of lavish production to new heights – it is what coffee tables are made for. Every serious rose grower will want to at least look at if not purchase, this true wonder of book making art. We are not likely to see a masterpiece such as this among gardening books any time soon."

This review is from: The Rose (Hardcover)

Enhanced with an informative introduction by Anne Halpin, The Rose is a superb coffee table book celebrating in prose, poetry and photography showcasing one of the most beloved blossoms of human history and imagination. Each two-page spread features a short poem or famous excerpt referring to a rose on the left, and a breathtaking full-color, full-page photograph of a type of rose on the right. A few rapturous photographs spread across two-pages. Roses of every color, shape, and size are memorably celebrated in this truly gorgeous book for flower lovers everywhere.
