Descriere magazin:
Description Could a book by any other name smell as sweet? Absolutely not. The rose is the world\'s favorite flower--and always has been. It is our greatest floral symbol of love and romance, and it is a bloom that touches our hearts as the flower most often chosen to celebrate significant milestones--weddings, anniversaries, births, and indeed, deaths. In this book, Catherine Horwood traces the botanical, religious, literary, and artistic journeys of the rose across the centuries, from battles to bridal bouquets. From Cleopatra\'s rose petal-filled bed to Nijinsky\'s Spectre de la Rose , from the highly prized Attar of Rose oil so beloved by the ancient Persians to the rosy scents of top perfume labels today, from Shakespearean myths about the War of the Roses to the significance of roses in Queen Elizabeth I\'s embroidered dresses, and even to blockade-running during the Napoleonic Wars to satisfy Empress Josephine\'s passion for collecting her favorite flower, Rose blossoms with the many stories of our ardor for this botanical family. Featuring a bower of illustrations and drawing on an array of sources as rich and many-hued as roses themselves, Horwood\'s tale opens our eyes and noses to the world\'s major rose-growing nations. With operatic tales of medieval bestsellers, nurserymen\'s rivalries, and changing tastes in our personal flower beds, Rose is certain to woo both gardeners and non-gardeners alike.
