Old Nectar and Roses

Classic account of a couple who bought and restored a Cape Dutch house, Old Nectar, and raised beds of magnificent roses in the gardens. According to the blurb: "Situated in the picturesque Jonkershoek valley, Old Nectar, a gabled Cape Dutch homestead, and its exquisite rose garden, is a national monument. Gen. Van der Spuy and his wife, Una, have spent twenty years at Old Nectar restoring the homestead and establishing the famous rose garden and nursery. The story of the Jonkershoek valley, Cape Dutch architecture, the Old Nectar homestead in particular, its builders and successive occupants (including ghosts), and the garden, makes fascinating reading and provides much interesting information, as well as practical advice for rose growers." 170 pages including index and b/w and colour plates. ------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
