Roses in the Garden
Ngoc Minh Ngo
The beauty and extraordinary history of the rose is celebrated through stunning photography of famous gardens throughout the world, from England and Italy to Morocco and Japan.
No other floral genus has greater variety and enticement than the rose. They blossom in an endless variety of shapes and a surprising spectrum of colors; their perfume is ineffable. After three thousand years of cultivation, the rose continues to seduce. Through various locations spanning the globe, this book explores both the nature and culture of the rose, celebrating its beauty, history, and the horticultural art it has inspired.
Acclaimed photographer and writer Ngoc Minh Ngo showcases the queen of flowers through a dozen acclaimed gardens in England, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and Japan, as well as the US. Each garden, like its roses, has a unique personality, which is captured through the author's prose and camera lens, highlighting the delight and seduction of this unique flower. Ninfa, outside of Rome and considered the most romantic garden in the world, is documented in all of its beauty in the springtime, while the Rose Garden of Sakura, Japan, is best seen in early summer. With extraordinary gardens in twelve locations, Roses in the Garden is a dazzling tour of the history and glory of the rose through its most beautiful homes.
