The work delves into both practical gardening advice and the botanical characteristics of various rose species. The opening of the book sets the foundation for what promises to be a thorough examination of roses, beginning with a preface that details the author’s past experiences and influences. Parsons outlines his intention to provide a valuable reference for both novice and experienced rose enthusiasts, emphasizing the need for simplicity in rose classification. He hints at the immense variety of rose species and cultivars, promising detailed discussions in subsequent chapters.
