Summary:
Many of our best-loved heritage
roses
are named after
women
and in this charming book, Ann Chapman explores the lives and stories behind the evocative names. We may be familiar with Mary Queen of Scots, Amy Robsart, and Jeanne d'Arc, but who were Adelaide d'Orléans, Nancy Steen, and Nur Mahal? Among the more than 30
women
described here are serene queens, duchesses, and aristocrats, courageous heroines and pioneers, as well as the passionate gardeners who contributed much to the cultivation and preservation of the
roses
named for each one. Each biography is beautifully illustrated with a portrait of the woman and a sumptuous photograph of her
rose
by the acclaimed French naturalist photographer Paul Starosta.
Women
in
my
Rose
Garden
will make a perfect gift, not only for rosarians and gardeners, but for all those with a love of
history
,
romance
, and
adventure
.
