Roses in the garden

The beauty and extraordinary history of the rose is celebrated in this gorgeous book 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 curated list of preeminent gardens in England, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and Japan, as well as the US.
