"Pick up the rose, you nymph, now time is fine" - Lorenzo the Magnificent |
In Pertengo, in the country around Vercelli, Roses in Rice-field offers a rare example of a garden with more than hundred variaties of climbing and brush roses, lavaterę, osmanthi and other botanical curiosities at their maximum blossoming.
The whole thing began a few years ago, when an old farm-house was initially restored; the rice-field in front of it and the old yard, where originally, at the first autumn mists, the rice was laid to dry, have been turned into a garden with multi-colored roses. Then, step by step, a secret garden was born, then another one: new climbing roses, other flowers, new colors.
