Description
|
|
|
|
Roses have been used for thousands of years as perfume, as decoration, and even in the cuisine of many countries, while the appeal of the rose as a bloom and as a symbol can be seen in art, history, and in horticulture. Here are entries describing the power and allure of the rose, secrets of today's top rose breeders, and rose trivia—for example, one fluid ounce of the world's most expensive perfume requires as many as 28 dozen roses. The book, like the others in the Little Book series, offers 100 color illustrations—up to 9 x 8 inches—among some 70 concise, browsable articles on the subject. Summaries of key facts and dates are presented in a table format, and the book includes an index, bibliography, and sources for more information or purchase.
