Old Roses 
A Fascinating Account 0f the 
Rediscovery oj Antique Roses 
By MRS. FREDERICK LOVE KEAYS 
During the last five years approximately a 
hundred and fifty varieties of Roses, dating 
from 1596 to 1880, which are fully described 
in this book, have been collected and grown at 
Creek Side (the author’s farm in southern 
Maryland). There are chapters on collecting 
and recording, on identification of varieties, and 
finally on how to use Old Roses when they are 
carried home to be incorporated in the garden. 
Pictures of old varieties, made from colored 
plates in rare old books and from the author’s 
photographs of Roses she has grown, as well 
as many line-drawings of Rose-forms and 
habits, supplement the text.
