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.
