40 Climbing Varieties, 140 Original Photographs, Short Descriptions



A nd what would a garden be without the fragrant bloom covered kiosk or the rich flowered gallery leading to the house or that secret corner where shy roses go wild ,

climbing on whatever has the power to sustain them: an old wall, a fence, a warehouse, a ladder… They say the roses have their secret language, in which colors, states of

development or fragrance are more meaningful and powerful that human words. There are hundreds stories about roses and how they accompanied humanity in its long

road. These stories are always about love, hope and beauty. Climbing roses may be by their own the symbol of the joyful youth, happily ready to conquer and to bring joy.

This book contains very short information about the varieties of climbing roses presented. It is mainly a photography book, which contains over 120 beautiful color

photographs of rain drops decorated roses. Each photo has its character identified and is linked to the descriptive section. There are summarily specified the class, bloom

color, fragrance, bloom shape and size, height, bloom time, and other details, if necessary and also the breeder.

There are three poems inserted in different sections of the book, just for the mood. Because when we’re talking roses we’re talking poetry, obviously. This book strives to

be a reminder of the beauty that surround us. This beauty may come in different shapes and colors but has an only message to bear: where flowers bloom, so does hope.

A Little Budding Roseby Emily Bronte

It was a little budding rose,

Round like a fairy globe,

And shyly did its leaves unclose

Hid in their mossy robe,

But sweet was the slight and spicy smell

It breathed from its heart invisible.
