The beauty and extraordinary history of the rose is celebrated through stunning photography of famous gardens throughout the world, from England and Italy to Morocco and Japan.
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. After three thousand 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 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. Ninfa, outside of Rome and considered the most romantic garden in the world, is documented in all of its beauty in the springtime, while the Rose Garden of Sakura, Japan, is best seen in early summer. With extraordinary gardens in eleven locations, Roses in the Garden is a dazzling tour of the history and glory of the rose through its most beautiful homes.

Sudpsuez Chinese Wallpaper in Britain and Ireland
Words by Emile de Bruijn
Chinese wallpaper has been an important element of western interior decoration for three hundred years. As trade between Europe and China flourished in the seventeenth century, Europeans developed a strong taste for Chinese art and design. The stunningly beautiful wall coverings now known as 'Chinese wallpaper' were developed by Chinese painting workshops in response to western demand. A sophisticated synthesis of eastern and western art, Chinese wallpapers were an early-modern global product and they are still popular and influential today.
In spite of their spectacular beauty, Chinese wallpapers have not been studied in any depth until relatively recently. This book provides an overview of some of the most significant Chinese wallpapers surviving in the British Isles. Sumptuously illustrated, it shows how these wallpapers became a staple ingredient of high-end interiors while always retaining a touch of the exotic.
The book charts the stylistic development of Chinese wallpaper, allowing individual wallpapers to be more securely dated. It also touches on the China trade, the crucial role of the paper-hangers and the social significance of Chinese-style decoration in Britain.
This is a ground-breaking resource for both scholars and designers, as well as for anyone interested in historic interior design.

Sudpsuez Francois Halard: Art and Flowers
Words by Francois Halard
The master photographer’s compelling images of his two most intimate passions: art and flowers.
“His photography has an innate capacity to evoke emotion and tell stories that linger in the mind long after the image is seen,” writes Dries Van Noten in the foreword to this two-volume series of images.
Long revered for his personal photography of the world’s most celebrated buildings and interiors, Halard strikes a new path with two new bodies of work. Confined to his house in Arles after a shoulder injury in early 2024, Halard began photographing the objects immediately surrounding him with his Polaroid camera. In turns traditional and abstract, the Flowers series is a captivating exploration of nature’s beauty. As beautifully described by fashion designer Dries Van Noten, “The Polaroid captures a fleeting moment, blossoming into a lasting memory, while the real flower, vibrant and alive, ultimately withers away, reminding us that beauty can be both preserved and ephemeral.”
In the second series, Art, Halard has enlarged a select number of his Polaroids, which he then worked on top with paint, wax, and other materials to give the final results a strong, layered sense of history and memory. Many of the images are made of ancient statuaries or details of Renaissance paintings from Italy and Greece—the tight crop of a marble head, or the folds of 15th-century drapery. “I am delving into the idea that antiquity can be modern,” Halard states in his interview with art curator Bice Curiger, “I like to start with a specific object to turn it into another, transitory object.” Halard’s transformation of the ephemeral into the permanent, in the case of his flowers; and the permanent into the ephemeral, in the case of his Classical-inspired artworks—give power and beauty to these compelling images.
