Présentation de l'éditeur
Every man is a potential rose grower; therefore, a possible reader ofT heR ose Book. It would then be excessive modesty to make an apology (as is common with writers of gardening books) for the appearance of this, the very latest work on roses. The moment is, in fact, opportune, for during recent years varieties have increased at a remarkable rate, even in such numbers as seriously to bewilder the amateur rosarian; new classes have arisen, and methods of cultivation have been perfected. Discriminating guidance is, needed by the unlearned in rose-growing who would have his garden full to overflowing with blossom and feel justified in joining in the poets song: Everywhere are roses, roses; Here a-blow, and there a-bud. Here in pairs, and there in posies. The Rose Book makes a bid for the post of companion-guide, essaying to tell not merely how things are done in the rose garden and when to do them, but also to warm the heart of the amateur with words of encouragement and to urge him ever onward with visions of rose beauty still unattained.
