Nestled amongst the rapid-fire real-time jostle of central London is a perfectly formed, delightfully pretty and seemingly unruffled rose garden. It was designed by Jo Thompson for her client, who, having recently returned to London after living in California, was keen to include plants she'd not been able to grow in the Californian climate.
On discussing the plans for this narrow garden with the client, the memo was clear: include as many rose varieties as possible. Here, the color choices are poised and thoughtful across a spectrum, from the palest porcelain pink to rich, deep magenta. The long, thin, serpentine shape of the garden is transformed into a cocooning, peaceful spot that is unapologetically feminine and bountiful.
