Abstract
THE demand for a second edition of the Rev. J. H. Pemberton's useful book on roses is a welcome sign that there are still a considerable number of keen gardeners who are interested in the genus, not so much on account of its horticultural merits, but rather because of its botanical interest. The various species of the genus Rosa, unspoilt by the hybridiser and “improver,” are well worthy of cultivation, and it is to be hoped that this book will turn many to the study of the wild species, as well as to the interesting hybrids that have been derived from them.
Roses: Their History, Development, and Cultivation.
