Synopsis
A Book About Roses: How To Grow And Show Them by Samuel Reynolds Hole. This 19th-century horticultural manual, with a prefatory note dated 1870, offers a comprehensive guide to growing, arranging, and exhibiting roses. Blending practical instruction with anecdotal reportage, the book covers the causes of failure and success in rose-gardens, soil and manure management, garden layout, and the cultivation of roses on Brier or Manetti stocks, grafting, and showmanship. It weaves social and moral reflections into horticulture, praising the role of roses in working-class gardens and public rose-shows, and promoting gardening as a path to improvement and happiness. The text outlines detailed procedures for rose shows, including box preparation, mossing, shading caps, tube arrangements, and show-card labeling, and it recounts the history and culture of rose exhibitions from local fairs to grand national shows. Throughout, Hole emphasizes accessible, affordable methods for ordinary gardeners and the universal beauty and value of the Rose as a symbol of virtue and enduring cultivation.
