In Brief
A career built on roses
I've been working with, and teaching about, garden roses for close to twenty-five years. While living in Los Angeles I owned and ran a rose care and rose garden design company. After moving to the upstate of South Carolina I founded Ashdown Roses, which was a rose nursery offering a wide array of garden roses.
I closed the nursery in 2010 to focus on garden design, consulting, writing and speaking. I consult to both public and private gardens on sustainable care and designing gardens grown around roses.
