A symbol of love, power, royalty, beauty, and joy, the rose has played many roles, both literal and symbolic, in poetry, art, literature, music, fashion, medicine, perfume, decoration, cuisine, and more. In this beautifully illustrated guide, award-winning horticulturist Peter E. Kukielski and his coauthor, Charles Phillips, tell the fascinating and many-layered history of this "queen of flowers." The book explores many stories from the long association of roses with human societies, from their first cultivation -- likely in China some five thousand years ago -- to their modern genetic cultivars. It shows how roses have been prominent across time and many cultures, including ancient Greece and Rome, Christianity, Islam, and Sufism. The book, with more than 140 color illustrations, offers a unique look at the essential contributions that roses have made throughout human history. 650 0 $a Roses $x History $0 (DLC)sh 85115443 650 7 $a GARDENING / Flowers / Roses. $2 bisacsh $0 (local)tmpaut1590929317242900 650 7 $a HISTORY / World. $2 bisacsh $0 (local)tlcaut18583917522310300 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Horticulture. $2 bisacsh $0 (local)tmpaut1590929338114800 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic History. $2 bisacsh $0 (local)tmpaut1590929348303500 650 7 $a Roses $x History $2 cct $0 (local)tmpaut1590929356982000 650 7 $a Roses. $2 fast $0 (local)tmpaut1590929360864800 $0 (local)tmpaut1590929360864800 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 $2 lcgft 655 7 $a History. $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 $2 tlcgt 700 1 $a Phillips, Charles, $d 1962- $e Author $0 (DLC)n 2004098547 700 1 $a Tankard, Judith B., $e author of introduction, etc. $e author of introduction, etc. $0 (DLC)n 88102236 941 $a 1 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020851.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=979F41F6FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
