A Talk by Dr Justin Newland

From rosettes to rose gardens, from poems to romance, the rose is ubiquitous across all centuries and cultures. It’s as ancient as the pyramids and as mysterious as Persian poetry, and yet its aroma remains as intoxicating as ever. In this talk, Somerset speaker and novelist Dr Justin Newland celebrates and explores our continued fascination with the rose.
