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. A pictorial index lists all the roses and the gardens where they reside. This stunning book was published by Rizzoli Books and is available on Amazon and in bookstores.

  1. A fantastic pic, Phillip. Nice memories, but now for some global warming and positive thoughts that we don't get even flurries tomorrow!

  2. Beautiful photo Philip... our day in the 50's will be followed by the first major snow of the season tomorrow... perhaps 6"-10" depending on who one listens to... just in time to protect against the cold that's following the snow. Larry

  3. Now this is winter. We haven't had much winter to talk about this year. We are to get some snow by 9:30 this morning, so they say. I will believe it when I see it.

  4. Great photo Phillip, I had a lot of fun driving around Tuscumbia after work taking pictures for the calendar. By the time I got home it was dark and don't have many from around my place. I have the depot, courthouse and stagecoach stop in the 2012 calendar and have one of the Almon house & Locust Hills I'd like to use in the 2013 calendar. Mary
