In the 1630s the Netherlands was gripped by tulipmania: a speculative fever unprecedented in scale and, as popular history would have it, folly. By clearing away the accumulated myths, Goldgar is able to show us instead the far more interesting reality: the ways in which tulipmania reflected deep anxieties about the transformation of Dutch society in the Golden Age. Every page is rife with rich human detail, and Goldgar’s lively and elegant style carries the reader, enthusiasm and curiosity undimmed, to the stimulating conclusion. (Anthony Grafton, Princeton University). "This is wonderful book, beautifully written and sustained by archival scholarship of the highest order. Its devastating and original demolition of the myth of Tulip mania, the fineness of historical judgment and the painstaking reconstructions so effortlessly conveyed on the page make it a pleasure to read." (John Brewer, author of A Sentimental Murder: Love and Madness in the Eighteenth Century). “Anne Goldgar’s scholarly sleuthing gives a whole new look to the 1630s tulipmania in the Netherlands.The bulb buyers and sellers were good middle-class merchants, not so far removed from knowledgeable connoisseurs and art-lovers. Goldgar provides a rich survey of the historiography of early modern European cultural and financial history along with a detailed account of the rise of tulip connoisseurship and trade. Some readers may find her interpretation—that participants in the tulip market were motivated more by connoisseurship and honor than pursuit of gain—to be overly subtle, but most will be impressed by Goldgar's thoroughness in examining primary sources. she shows that the tulip boom, far from representing a case of mass irrationality, was actually the product of intellectual, familial, and commercial networks among a relatively small and prosperous subset of Dutch burghers. [The book] serves not only to rewrite a fascinating historical event, but to shed considerable light on the history or early modern commerce and culture more generally." (Richard Mawrey Historic Gardens Review ). "In my view it is a wonderful and delightfully written book offering a totally new slant on the tulipmania in the Netherlands in the 1630s, when the bottom dropped out of the tulip bulb market in just a few days’ time."

I wanted tough roses, roses that took heat and drought andbug attacks and zombie apocalypses with aplomb and would still come outlooking great and covered with scented blossoms. Rose breeders, most notably David Austin, were crossing modern varietieswith old varieties and to get roses that combined the best of the newand the old. Other breeders were creating roses that were tough anddisease-resistant, such as the 'Knock-Out' landscape rose, which now you see everywhere.I planted some antique roses,and they looked great. The rose garden wasstarting to look spiffy, even though I still had to take roses out every year due to the rose rosette virus.
