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."

A delightful, fascinating chronicle of Christopher's search for "old roses"--the original breed which all but vanished after 1867, when roses were hybridized. "What sticks in the mind is the stories he tells and the people he's met, researched or gone to look for--the mad, passionate, wildly uncompromising people, fixed on a flower."--New York Times Book Review.

This account of London in the medieval period considers the city as the centre of politics, finance, trade and government in England. It describes up-to-date archaeological discoveries that throw new light onto the history of the medieval capital. Excavation has revealed much about the layout, architecture and fabric of the city, and it has provided intimate evidence of the daily lives of ordinary Londoners. The text is a summary of the mass of archaeological evidence that has been discovered since the 1970s. It offers an introduction to the fabric and structure of the ancient city, and it gives us an insight into the lives of medieval Londoners.
