Book details

Book description

Roses and women were the two loves of the Suffolk Horticulturalist - and he has devoted his life to them.

Five roses in particular stood in the rose bowl the day the story opens. . . each named after a woman in his life. Together they represent a lifetime's experience of passion, tragedy and a devotion to beauty.

Set among the willows and water meadows of Constable's Stour valley, Judy Gardiner's evocative and compulsive story paints a picture of gradual change - the England of near-feudalism to the go-getting Sixties.
