Krátky popis
'Fascinating...I'll never look at a rose in quite the same way
again.' Adrian TinniswoodThe rose is bursting with meaning. Over
the centuries it has come to represent love and sensuality, deceit,
death and the mystical unknown. Today the rose enjoys unrivalled
popularity across the globe, ever present at life's seminal
moments.Grown in the Middle East two thousand years ago for its
pleasing scent and medicinal properties, it has become one of the
most adored flowers across cultures, no longer selected by nature,
but by us. The rose is well-versed at enchanting human hearts. From
Shakespeare's sonnets to Bulgaria's Rose Valley to the thriving
rose trade in Africa and the Far East, via museums, high fashion,
Victorian England and Belle Epoque France, we meet an astonishing
array of species and hybrids of remarkably different
provenance.This is the story of a hardy, thorny flower and how, by
beauty and charm, it came to seduce the world.
