Winterrowd's contributors constitute a Who's Who of contemporary garden writers. Their highly personal essays are rich with reminiscence, with prejudice, with love remembered or recently experienced and sometimes with cantankerous personal opinion.
Many offer fascinating historical information or valuable tips on culture. All of them, whether with new passion or grudging admiration, celebrate the rose, a flower that has been treasured since pre-history and is reinvented in every generation.
These spellbinding accounts are magnificently complemented by Pamela Stagg's vibrant watercolours. 'Roses: A Celebration' is a handsome gift for any gardener, and essential reading for anyone who loves roses.
