A richly illustrated and unique book tracing the history of the rose - the "queen of flowers" - in art, medicine, gastronomy and everyday life. For centuries, the rose has been a symbol of love, beauty, power and joy and has occupied a special place in culture and human history.
Award-winning horticulturist Peter E. Kukielski and co-author Charles Phillips tell the fascinating story of the rose from its origins in ancient China more than five thousand years ago to modern breeding. The book traces the importance of roses across civilizations-from ancient Greece and Rome to Christianity, Islam, and Sufism.
The book contains more than 140 colour illustrations and offers a unique insight into the role of roses in history, art, medicine, perfumery, fashion and cuisine.
