From rosettes to rose gardens, from poems to romance, the Rose is ubiquitous across all centuries and cultures. It’s as old as Ancient Egypt and as mysterious as Persia, and yet its aroma is still as intoxicating as ever. In this illustrated talk, Somerset novelist Justin Newland explores our continued fascination with the rose.
