Roses In The Garden - a book review
Roses In The Garden by Ngoc Minh Ngo Photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo celebrates rose gardens throughout the world in this beautifully produced book. The author photographed a total of 11 gardens across the globe (Italy, Morocco, Spain, USA, UK, and Japan). Beginning with the Italian garden Ninfa (often referred to as the most romantic garden in the world), her photographs have a dreamy quality that transports the reader to these exotic locales. Closer to home, Floret Farm in Mount Vernon, Washington, is included in one of the chapters. All types of roses are included in the gardens but the majority feature old rose varieties. Many of the gardens have roses growing in wild abandon, intermingled in hedge rows, spilling over walls and fences and surrounded by pastures and rolling hills.

it really has been a beautiful fall here too.
ReplyDeleteI still a few blooms but, I don't think they can last much longer. Love the Snow Wreath.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how the last yellow leaves look like beacons in the late fall sunshine.
ReplyDeleteFall is not over yet in the PNW either as the leaves on the Sweet Gum still cling to most of the branches, but this morning's hard frost may help it along. Happy Fall and winter, Phillip
ReplyDeleteThe bright yellow leaves on the snowwreath are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow foliage on that shrub...no fall is not over here...I've been wearing short the past couple days.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shrub. Hope your fall lasts a little longer.
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with the Alabama Snow Wreath but it looks great. You are lucky to have any foliage left. Our landscape is bare and dreary.
ReplyDeleteMy gardening bug is really starting to kick back in now. I think next year is going to be a much better year. BTW I got your email about catching you up. I promise I'll get around to that sooner or later. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis shrub is on my list for 2012. Thanks for sharing the lovely fall color. Merry Christmas Phillip!
