Peonies by Allan Rogers
Al Rogers has been growing peonies since childhood, and this book represents more than 60 years' experience. Peonies are treasured by gardeners for their longevity, lush foliage, rich fragrance, and landscape uses. Captured within these pages are not only the flavor, charm, and history of the peony and its hybridizers but also expert information about the genus Paeonia and its many cultivars. The species are discussed, and from the thousand-odd listed cultivars of both tree and herbaceous peonies, Rogers singles out the truly superior for recommendation, along with some introductions that show great promise. This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.Al Rogers, a native of Haverhill, Massachusetts, got his first peony cultivar when he was eight years old. For more than two decades, he owned and operated Caprice Farm Nursery, a thriving peony nursery and mail-order provider. He's written and taught about peony and other perennials over the years, and he spent eight years on the board of the Perennial Plant Association.
