Teas are now being acclaimed as superb roses for warm gardens. Bred for a century or so from 1820, they were descended mainly from Chinese garden hybrids introduced into Europe in the early 19th century. This title brings together the observations and knowledge the authors have accumulated about the Teas and tells something of their history.

Alpines have been a favourite plant for generations of gardeners. Historically they were used in rockeries, but they offer far more potential for gardens, which generally become smaller. Whether planted in troughs, window boxes, raised beds or between paving, alpines offer versatility and colour for nearly every month of the year.

Auriculas are spring-flowering alpine beauties and a sensational draw whenever they are seen, at primula and auricula flower shows, on display in auricula theatres, or in the garden. This guide tells their history, describes various cultivars, instructs on propagation techniques, and explains how to grow and show them.
