About This Item
London, Harper Collins first edition - hard cover in dust jacket The rose tree's story reaches back hundreds, some say thousands of years: the dove returning to Noahs ark was carrying the leaf of a rhododendron. The Aztecs favoured it for their gardens, the Chinese use it in their medicines. From the blazing heat of Kashmir to the crisp Alpine peaks of New Zealand, the author tells of its global passage and majestic ancient beauty. 245 x 160mm., pp. xi, 308, col. plates, notes, index. Contents - no inscriptions, dust jacket - no tears or chips. NEAR FINE/NEAR FINE ISBN: 0007129955
