{"product_id":"in-search-of-lost-roses-9780226105963","title":"In Search of Lost Roses","description":"Once upon a time-before the 1860s-people loved old roses like \"Pearl of Gold,\" \"Marchionesse of Lorne,\" or \"Autumn Damask.\" Then along came the hybrid tea roses, which were easier to arrange, more dramatic, and longer-blooming, and the old roses were all but forgotten. Now the lovely, subtle-hued, richly perfumed old roses are making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of a stubborn band of eccentric characters who rescued them from back alleys, ramshackle cottages, and overgrown graveyards across the country. Thomas Christopher tells us the fascinating stories of the old roses-how they were created and made their way to America-and the unforgettable people who \"rustle\" them from abandoned lots and secret gardens today, revelling in the mystery of an \"unknown yellow.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Christopher\u003c\/b\u003e is a frequent contributor to \u003ci\u003eHorticulture\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
