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.

  1. A whole lot of this going on here. Does your green man have to come in out of the frost to stay intact?

  4. Hi Phillip, the garden is going to rest and I always feel a little sad. But there's always next year! Thanks for your lovely photographs.

  5. Both garden and gardener need to rest and rejuvenate so I'm not to sad to see winter rolls in. I love the bird bath: it looks like the water in it has frozen!
