The story of modern roses begins in the 1900s with the ascendancy of Hybrid Teas and Floribundas, Hybrid Musks and Modern Shrub Roses. Bred from old varieties for outstanding blooms, good fragrances and healthy foliage, they have become the standards for our public and private gardens. Some one hundred and thirty outstanding modern roses are described in this delightful little book, twenty-eight of which are accompanied by superb full-colour botanical illustrations.
This modestly priced book is readily available for sale in USA, Canada, Ireland, Britain and mainland Europe.
