This gift book offers a personal view of the magic and beauty of roses from a professional horticulturalist whose name is well-known throughout France. In these notebook entries, Delbard not only describes some 40 varieties of roses, their origins and their special qualities, but also presents a distinctive view of nature, its meaning and importance in our lives, as well as the lessons it teaches us. The author also provides a schematic guide to the individual fragrance of each rose. His poetic text is complemented by the watercolours of Fabrice Moireau.
