A symbol of love, power, royalty, beauty, and joy, the rose has played many roles, both literal and symbolic, in poetry, art, literature, music, fashion, medicine, perfume, decoration, cuisine, and more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this beautifully illustrated guide, award-winning horticulturist Peter E. Kukielski and his coauthor, Charles Phillips, tell the fascinating and many-layered history of this “queen of flowers.” The book explores many stories from the long association of roses with human societies, from their first cultivation—likely in China some five thousand years ago—to their modern genetic cultivars. It shows how roses have been prominent across time and many cultures, including ancient Greece and Rome, Christianity, Islam, and Sufism.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe book, with more than 140 color illustrations, offers a unique look at the essential contributions that roses have made throughout human history.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pak Manifesto Enterprises","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68257593098541,"sku":"9780300251111","price":3600.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/1896\/7085\/files\/9780300251111-10.jpg?v=1794047956","url":"https:\/\/pakmanifesto.com\/products\/rosa-the-story-of-the-rose","provider":"Pak Manifesto Enterprises","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
