Hello, friends! Last summer I had the opportunity to photograph an abundance of David Austin roses for my upcoming book. Now that it’s off to the printer (to be released in September), I thought I’d share some of the images from the “cutting room floor” to get us all in a summery mood.
Above, new print series “Bed of Roses“, photographed while at All My Thyme farm in Washington.
Above, newly released print “Remnants“, photographed while at the David Austin Rose Center in Albrighton, England.
A carpet of roses from All My Thyme. It took the owner, Dawn, her daughter Claire and me several hours to cut the roses and to set this up!

And finally, for more rose-y goodness, pick up the Summer Edition of Garden Design Magazine. I’m very excited and honored to have a number of my photographs, including the opening spread above, appear in a specially-commissioned article on David Austin Roses. The article is fabulous, with new portraits of Mr. Austin himself, photographed by Richard Bloom. It’s a thrill to have my photos appear alongside those of Mr. Bloom and Clive Nichols, two of the UK’s top flower photographers, whose work has inspired me for many years.
Wishing you a beautiful summer!

Just amazing!! I’m sure Mr. Bloom and Clive Nichols are likewise thrilled to have their photos appear alongside yours:-)
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning !
Georgianna! I just delight in your opportunities and in your work! Being featured in an article alongside those two amazing photographers? Woah!!! :D Having an opportunity to bring a book to fruition – to FOCUS on roses so intensely? So much hard work and so much skill and I hope you feel like you’re flying! ? That’s the photographer side of me responding.
The plain ol’ Katy girl’s response is, I swear I could smell those roses for a moment!! (and it’s not wafting in from my window because I’m on the wrong side of the house for that. ;) ) These are GLORIOUS!! ??? xxoo
My goodness, these are such beautiful images, Georgianna. Especially the “Rose Carpet.” Really quite magical.
A very big congratulations to you for having your photos published in Garden Design Magazine. This is so truly well-deserved.
I am looking forward to the release of your book! :-)
Happy summer to you, my friend. xo.

Fantastic and congratulations! Can’t wait to see your new book. I hope it becomes a New York Times bestseller and you start a rose revolution! Hope you guys have a great summer too!
