Once upon a time--before the 1860s--people loved old roses like
"Pearl of Gold," "Marchionesse of Lorne," or "Autumn Damask." Then
along came the hybrid tea roses, which were easier to arrange, more
dramatic, and longer-blooming, and the old roses were all but
forgotten. Now the lovely, subtle-hued, richly perfumed old roses
are making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of a stubborn band of
eccentric characters who rescued them from back alleys, ramshackle
cottages, and overgrown graveyards across the country. Thomas
Christopher tells us the fascinating stories of the old roses--how
they were created and made their way to America--and the
unforgettable people who "rustle" them from abandoned lots and
secret gardens today, revelling in the mystery of an "unknown
yellow."
