Sinopsis

'Origin of Rose' presents a captivating journey through the evolutionary history of one of humanity's most beloved flowers, tracing its remarkable transformation from ancient wild species to the thousands of cultivated varieties we know today.

 
Beginning with 35-million-year-old geological evidence, the book weaves together botanical science, cultural history, and horticultural practices to tell the compelling story of how roses have shaped human civilization while being shaped by human selection. The narrative expertly chronicles three pivotal periods in rose development: early domestication in ancient China, systematic breeding during the Roman Empire, and the revolutionary hybridization practices of 18th-century Europe.

 
Through careful examination of archaeological findings and botanical research, readers discover how simple five-petaled wild flowers evolved into the complex, many-petaled blooms that grace modern gardens. The book reveals fascinating details about how different civilizations contributed to rose development, from Persian gardens to Victorian England's breeding programs.

 
This comprehensive work bridges multiple disciplines, combining rigorous scientific evidence with accessible explanations of rose genetics, breeding techniques, and fragrance production. The text progresses logically from ancient wild species to modern cultivars, incorporating recent DNA analysis and fossil records while maintaining engagement through historical anecdotes and case studies.

 
Whether readers are experienced horticulturists or amateur gardeners, they'll find valuable insights into both the practical aspects of rose cultivation and the broader story of plant domestication.

    WALKING EUROPE'S EDGE -...

    Portugal is both a celebrated and an unknown land. Millions come to enjoy its beaches and the fashionable coastal cities of Lisbon and Porto. In this sense it looms large in the minds of many. But its out-of-the-way places, its turbulent history and contemporary challenges are little-known outside of the country's boundaries. 
    From autumn 2018 to spring 2019, British journalist Stephen Powell traveled the length of Portugal, following a zigzag path of nearly 1,500 kilometers on foot. Away from the mass tourism, he wanted to form his own unhurried impressions of this very distinctive country. 
    He discovered a very mixed reality. The dark side was the blight of rural exodus that is emptying so many villages. But he also found a profoundly generous, warm-hearted people with time to converse - a gift that is not found everywhere. 
    "Stephen Powell's beautifully written account of his life-changing walk through Portugal enriches the reader with his insights and impressions of the country's history, culture, scenery and spirit. For me, the book was a fascinating journey of discovery through Portugal's lesser-known provinces..."
