Roses in the Garden

“Memory and history are at the center of the photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo’s Roses in the Garden (Rizzoli), an effusive and elegant book with a genesis in loss.” — Vogue “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

Ngoc Minh Ngo is a celebrated photographer and the author of Bringing Nature Home, In Bloom, and Eden Revisited. Ngoc’s images have been published in World of Interiors, T Magazine, Architectural Digest, Cabana, and House & Garden UK.
