PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTION TO FIND OUT ABOUT CONTENTS, CONDITION AND POSTAGE OPTIONS. 224-page richly illustrated hardcover book from 1990. "This sumptuously illustrated work, an inspiration and reference for all rose lovers, goes back to original sources. It enquires where the rose came from and why it became a symbol for love and a name for women; it tells the story of its adoption for religious rites, and of the men and women who helped endow this originally simple flower with the romantic power it enjoys today. Writers, artists, sculptors and musicians have adapted the rose to their own purposes...Cultural history is interwoven with botanical reality. The roses which the artists adopted as models are described and illustrated in detail; the reasons for the rise and fall of certain species are explained. The rose has also had its more practical uses through the ages--as food, drink, perfume, medicine. Again this book goes back to original sources to demonstrate why the Greeks, the Romans and early churchmen chose the rose for their curious purposes. It also describes the motivation and skills of the growers and breeders who turned the rose from a simple flower to a giant commercial venture."
Condition of book is generally good for its age, the pages have a slight "wave" at the bottom.
