My Vintage Rose Book

 text_rphf

I fell in love with this book when I first saw it.  To me, it is really hard to believe this book was written by a man. (Sorry guys, but you know what I mean)

This vintage book by S. Hole is simply called, “A Book about Roses”. It was originally published in 1870.   This first picture is my favorite!


Here is the author’s sweet dedication:
