A Rose by Any Name by Douglas Brenner
ISBN: 9781565125186 PUBLISHER: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 320 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.02.2009 DIMENSIONS: 180mmX168mmX30mm 612grams
DESCRIPTION: Encompassing art, literature, science, technology, history, and everything in between, the stories behind rose varieties include enough curiosities, romance, tragedy, wit, mystery, scandal, and earthy delights to satisfy even those who would never dream of actually tending a plant. in addition to names, readers will learn that the perfume of 'Rosa Gallica' wafted through Pliny's Roman villa and lulled Marie Antoinette on the night before her wedding; that 'Eglantine' is threaded through Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"; that roses in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were mainly raised for medicinal purposes; and that the world of rose-naming rights is one of complicated and fiercely guarded copyrights and patents. With full-color art throughout, this eclectic little volume is a must-have for die-hard rosarians, and for the less rose-obsessed, it's simply a marvelous miscellany starring what is arguably the world's most popular flower.
