Richard Wentworth Livres

Celebrating the very best of roses, including the right varieties to choose and how to grow them With more than 30,000 different types of roses available to gardeners across the world, how do you find the right one for your garden? A rose is one of the most beautiful, versatile, and rewarding plants that a gardener can grow. RHS Roses is a joyous celebration of this garden icon, which brings together stunning photography of rose gardens and displays from across the world with practical, expert advice on how to choose, grow, and enjoy roses in any garden, anywhere. Far more than a basic guide to rose cultivation, this invaluable guide teaches gardeners how they can make the most of their garden's unique qualities, from practical considerations like soil and climate to the mood and style of the space. The "rose selector" section showcases 200 varieties best-suited to particular uses, such as for scent, borders, cutting, or supporting wildlife. Combining author Michael Marriott's expertise and insight with stunning photography, RHS Roses is the ideal book for gardeners who love, grow, and want to know more about their favourite flower

"Inspired by Richard Wentworth's 'Making Do and Getting by, ' we invited the artist to create an exhibition in response to the recent transition the area of Borough and Bermondsey have been going through."--Introduction page 4.

Making Do and Getting By investigates processes of perception and communication – how we see what we see, what we do with what we see, how we name what we think we have seen, who we share it with and who is speaking to whom. Beyond this, it documents an excess – a creativity beyond necessary functionality, something transformative that lurks below the surface intention in acts of ordering and repair. In this ongoing series of photographs taken on his daily trajectories, Wentworth frames with a light and witty touch the art of the human hand.
