Parsons on the Rose
Samuel Browne Parsons
Everything a nineteenth-century gardener wanted to know about the queen of flowers. Parsons sorts roses first by botany, then by garden use, guiding readers through the families and varieties worth planting. A trusted American handbook, revised across decades of real cultivation. Whether you crave a climber, a hedge, or a single perfect bloom, start where generations of rose lovers began.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
