No other floral genus has greater variety and allure than the rose. Utterly deserving of being known as the queen of flowers, roses bloom in an endless variety of shapes, a surprising spectrum of colors, and their perfume is legendary. After 3000 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 majestic rose through a dozen acclaimed gardens in England, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Japan, as well as the US. Each garden, like its roses, has a unique personality, which is captured through the author s prose and camera lens, highlighting the delight and seduction of this unparalleled flower. Ninfa, outside of Rome considered the most romantic garden in the world is documented in all of its springtime glory, while the Rose Garden of Sakura, Japan, is at its best in autumn. This lusciously photographed book is a dazzling tour-de-force through the history and beauty of the rose in its most beautiful settings.

"A rose is never just a rose, at least not in the hands of Ngoc Minh Ngo. In her latest book, Roses in the Garden, the acclaimed photographer invites us into a world where blooms tumble over stone walls, spill across fountains, and lend their magic to some of the world’s most beautiful gardens. From the overgrown romance of Italy’s Garden of Ninfa to the quiet refinement of Japanese courtyards, each setting is more poetic than the last. Ngo doesn’t just document gardens. She captures atmosphere, mood, and that ineffable quality that makes a place feel touched by beauty. Roses in the Garden is a must for any garden lover in your life, and would make an ideal hostess gift. Whether you’re a rose devotee, a garden fantasist, or simply looking for a beautiful escape, this exquisite book deserves pride of place on your shelf." — The Glam Pad
"One of my favorite photographers, Ngoc Minh Ngo, has approached the subject of one of my favorite flowers, the Rose, in a beautiful and very unique way. She takes us to some faraway and unusual places to introduce us to gardens that are redolent of these ancient and romantic flowers, and she focuses not on specific blooms but on the way these shrubs and bushes and vine like plants consume areas, covering architecture, obscuring walls, climbing trees and becoming the landscape. I learned a great deal going through this beautiful book, and I now have even more appreciation of the rose as a plant as well as an individual bloom! Brava Ngoc!" — Martha Stewart
"The rose is the queen of all flowers and no book could possibly serve its majesty finer. Roses in the Garden is as noble, delicate, mythical, romantic, dream-inducing and gorgeous as its subject." — Deborah Needleman
