The Spirit of the Rose

Spirit of the Rose is a book packed full of sensual, evocative photographs all themed around one of the all time favourite flowers – the rose. David Lloyd’s stunning photography captures the mood and character of the flowers whilst using light and shade to create depth and feeling to the compositions. To complement the photographs lots of people, for whom roses play a major role in life, share their reasons for loving the flower. There’s also lots about the history, myths, legend and folklore and roses in literature and poetry. A magnificent book to have by the bedside, by a master of his art.
