"Parsons on the Rose" by Samuel B. Parsons is a treatise on the propagation, culture, and history of roses that was written in the late 19th century. This revised edition from 1908 includes insights from decades of experience in horticulture, and aims to simplify the classification and cultivation of roses while promoting their appreciation. 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. From the outset, Parsons immerses readers in the botanical aspects of roses, laying the groundwork for understanding their growth, maintenance, and historical significance.
