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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47590779060375,"sku":"9780226105963","price":2334.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226105963.webp?v=1774970509","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/in-search-of-lost-roses-9780226105963","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
