A Good Introduction Or Gift

This is a great little book for someone who is new to the world of old roses. I am responsible for a historic site (Historic Brattonsville) that is in the middle of restoring its 19th century pleasure garden. Roses were a foundation of such gardens and this book, along with many others, is helping me to restore them. While serious folk would probably find it lacking the depth they are looking for, there are still some juicy info tidbits that they would surely appreciate. The illustrations a beautiful. Of course that's a given in most all rose books! The thing I like best about this book is that it is perfect for gifting. Its small, concise, and inspiring. What more would someone want?
