Summary

From the author of very successful 'Secret Gardens', this is a celebration of England's favourite flower. The National Trust owns many of the most famous and beloved rose gardens in this country, including Mottisfont, which has over 500 varieties, and the legendary Sissinghurst, where all NT gardeners are sent to learn the art of rose pruning. As well as showcasing 25 of these gardens, the book spotlights 20 varieties of rose to talk about in detail, accompanied by striking portrait shots and growing advice
