For every single pink rose bouquet that Rose Forever sells throughout the month of PINK OCTOBER they will donate $2 for breast cancer research. Treat yourself or a friend with a bouquet and support a great cause.

Living with Roses, the latest hardcover volume from the editors of Victoria magazine, offers bouquets of inspiration for instilling the ever-enchanting essence of roses into living spaces, both indoors and out.

Throughout millennia, the rose has eclipsed all other flora to remain as the undisputed favorite of the garden, with exuberant blooms that have long delighted the senses, stirred imaginations, and inspired poets’ heartfelt verse. Not simply confined to a plot of land, this quintessentially feminine flower pirouettes her way into the home, where her lovely visage brightens every imaginable genre, from decorative items and teatime occasions to fashion and fragrance.

Arranged into seven splendidly illustrated chapters, this thoughtfully composed edition unfolds with Lovingly Tended, which shares helpful hints for the care and keeping of this beloved bloom, as well as an endearing essay sure to strike a resonant chord. In Romantic Abodes, we tour a parade of pretty residences brimming with floral charm, while Tranquil Moments shows the many ways a rose motif weaves its way through treasured collections, artful arrangements, and moments of bliss.

Beautiful botanical sanctuaries from London to Paris are lavishly depicted in the Flourishing Havens chapter, and for those who dream of escaping to the breathtaking environs of the French countryside, we offer Belles Fleurs. Petal-Strewn Paths introduces women who have found creative ways to celebrate roses, from intricate embroidery on reproduction costumes to “painting” with petals. No Victoria book would be complete without ideas for hosting memorable gatherings. Gracious Entertaining offers plenty of inspiration in the way of table settings, elegant menus, and a bevy of heavenly desserts.

William Shakespeare once wrote, “Of all the flowers, methinks a rose is best.” Living with Roses underscores the venerable bard’s sentiment, with words and photographs of ardent testimony to the flower’s lasting appeal, and it promises to be a cherished keepsake for anyone who loves this sublime blossom or just appreciates the incomparable beauty found with every turn of the page.

  1. I can’t have roses, the deer will climb over a 10 foot fence to eat them……I will just have to enjoy the beautiful pictures…….

  2. I have been a subscriber of Victoria magazine since it's premier issue! I have most of their books too. I haven't bought this one or the Living With Blue & White, yet. Maybe now is the time. Lovely video review. Thank you very much!

  3. I was thrilled to see this book on your video list. I was so honored to have my paintings featured amongst all those lovely photos so I’m extra in love with this beautiful book and the wonderful editors and stylists at Victoria. 💕🌸🌿

  4. I will buy the roses and the book! Forever Roses! I make ponchos out of soft and colorful pillowcases. I leave an opening so the whole pillowcase is a pocket. I have been giving ponchos to cancer survivors for 13 years. I just came up with the pillowcase in September 2022. It hides the open gown, and all tubes and wires without being difficult to take off or on. It is lined with 2 inside pockets to cover the core for comfort and warmth. Poncho power and my name finds directions online for anyone who needs comfort.

  5. Fabulous ideas floral arrangement to dress your living areas and enjoy roses..and roses to enjoy for one year absolutely wonderful. Thank you, again..
