Renowned American historian and leading horticulturalist Francis
Parkman (1823-1893), briefly a Professor of Horticulture at Harvard
University and President of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, wrote ""The Book of Roses"" specifically for American rose
enthusiasts. The book contains information on the culture, training
and propagation of roses, as well as descriptions of rose families,
groups, and best varieties. According to Parkman biographer Howard
Doughty, "" Parkman] was among the foremost of American
rose-growers. He is said to have had at one time over a thousand
varieties in his garden, and 'The Book of Roses, ' which he
published in 1866, was for many years a standard manual of the
subject."" Beautiful black-and-white illustrations accompany the
text.
