Join Longwood Gardens and acclaimed photographer and author Ngoc Minh Ngo for an evening celebrating the beauty and extraordinary history of the rose.
No other floral genus has greater variety and enticement than the rose. They blossom in an endless variety of shapes and a surprising spectrum of colors; their perfume is ineffable. In her most recent book, Roses in the Garden, Minh Ngo showcases the queen of flowers through a curated list of preeminent gardens in England, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and 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 unique flower.
This lecture will be followed by a book signing and opportunity to meet the author. Copies of Roses in the Garden will be available for purchase.
