Covering equally the serious botanical point and the diverting legend, Fisher provides the ultimate reference book for all those who have ever wanted to know the origins of a favourite rose, the precise meaning of nurserymen's English, what pest it is that is ravaging their roses and how to deal with it, how to keep cut roses in good condition for up to two weeks, why the Pope should have a golden rose, what the Rose of Sharon was, why the Empress Josephine employed Redouté, or just exactly what a zygote is.
