‘Roses’ with Shane Connolly, Hazel Gardiner & Victoria Clarke
From a couture Dior gown and a rose-adorned Barbie to ancient mosaics and Victorian Valentine’s cards, the Rose has become a universally beloved bloom. In this panel discussion celebrating the release of The Rose Book, published by Phaidon, editorial director and commissioning editor Victoria Clarke speaks with celebrated floral designers Shane Connolly and Hazel Gardiner.
Join this conversation as Victoria, Shane and Hazel unpack the extraordinary ways the iconic flower has been depicted through time and culture, both within and beyond the garden.
