Who doesn’t love fireworks! Especially when the setting is Newport with its bridge festively lit and historic legacy (the same harbor from which Washington, Lafayette, and Rochambeau set sail during the American Revolution). Which fireworks are your favorite? Wishing you an effervescently joyous Fourth of July.

Cordelia de Castellane is known widely as the ambassador of the French lifestyle and Artistic Director of Dior Home and Dior Baby. Last week her new book, “Flower Couture, From My Garden to My House” was previewed in America at the Newport Flower Show. For the many of us who share a passion for gardening, Cordelia’s words and tips will resonate, providing us a must-have guide on how to imbue every day with flair, beauty, and that irresistible French joie de vivre.

The Newport Flower Show kicks off today, and as if on cue, the roses in everyone’s gardens are at their primo best! Here at Parterre, encircling the antique leaded glass window of the Orangerie, is the yummy ‘Falstaff,’ a deep, Merlot red with a brilliant presence and multiple petals. Quite the showoff, as today’s blog is titled. Skip over and enjoy the roses!
