This is a new release of the original 1924 edition.

1924. The author was an ardent lover of roses and having carefully studied them over many years, wrote this book with the hope that there may be some little thing gained in these pages from his own experiences in rose growing which may interest, and possibly help, the reasoned Rosarian, by using the simplest language, and explaining the different branches of rose culture in the most detailed manner possible, and also by a careful choice of illustrations.
