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.

I planted 2 of the divisions in different areas (I'm putting something different in the original location). I divided the third piece into two pieces and plan to share them.
DeleteHow did it work? Did they survive, even flourish? Is there a picture from this year?
ReplyDeleteYes, both clumps are doing fine and I see buds on them. I'm having to water them frequently because they keep wilting. I will try to get a photo.
