Partenia Urtiaga
While there may be hundreds of distinct images associated with the 50 states, few are as beautiful as the state flower. This is a rundown of the official state flowers in the U.S., from Alabama to Wyoming, as well as Washington D.C.
The backstory is that I had taken my wife for her birthday to the Inn at Perry Cabin in St Michaels, Maryland, on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, and had ordered some flowers and champagne to be in the room for our arrival. The roses were beautiful (as was the champagne) and so I decided to try to photograph them for posterity!
Of course, they look good as they are, but I later decided to see if I could create something more artistic from them, and so set about trying to find specific roses that looked particularly special. My first attempt was this image of a single rose surrounded by the greenery of the bouquet:
The roses are individually very pretty, but together they are just too much. And so, I tried a different approach in Photoshop to spin and blur the roses and still have the focus on the center one. This is certainly different and does give a much more intriguing view of the bouquet.
My two favorite lenses for flower photography are a 105mm macro lens and a 50mm f/1.4 prime lens. The 50mm lens is my go-to lens for most situations, including most pictures shot in my living room, but I absolutely LOVE the 105mm macro lens. I happen to use a Nikon camera, so the ones I have are the Nikon 105mm f2.8g and the Nikon 50mm f1.4G.

I have been collecting rare, heirloom varieties of roses for nearly 20 years now. Shortly after we bought our house in the country, I went to work trying to transform our acre of perfectly manicured lawn into a wild, magical secret garden inspired by all of the English gardening books that I checked out at the library.
A few years into my gardening journey, I became a full-fledged flower farmer and received my first grant to trial a wide range of roses that were known to have really great rose hips suitable for cutting. Some of the varieties were from here in the states, but many had to be imported from abroad, which was a very complicated, time-consuming, and expensive process.
Anne is somewhat of a legend in the rose world and has inspired so many with her passion and generous sharing. Her love of roses was contagious and while she came to gardening later in life (she grew her first rose at 60), she scoured the globe and amassed the largest collection of giant rambling roses in North America and ended up writing five books on the subject.
I got so caught up with the farm and raising the kids and trying to keep my head above water that I lost touch with Anne, but every June when all the old roses would bloom in my garden, I would think of her and long to go back.
Once I had all of the plants gathered, Becky Crowley (who came from England to help me design the farm) and I got to work mapping out where they would all go. In England, there are so many spectacular gardens to visit where you can draw inspiration from. But here on the West Coast, established gardens are few and far between, and finding any with old-fashioned roses is a rare treat.
The last time I visited, the extensive gardens and grounds were perfectly manicured. The beds were edged and mulched, the roses were trained to their beautiful arbors and arches, and the acres of lawn were freshly mowed.
We had to keep stopping and reminding each other to breathe because we were so freaking excited about the roses and still in shock that we were even allowed into this magical secret world that Anne had created.
Also, thank you for your interview with Ms. Belovich, it was a great read. I would have never expected someone who sailed from New Zealand to become a rose grower, rose collector, and writer of rose books. Wow.
When I was a young girl, my grandmother, Lula, had a beautiful rose bush which was her pride and joy. She cared for it like a child. On the day that she died, the rose bush was in full bloom but when she passed every petal on that rose bush fell off. There was not a petal left. The bush did survive for years after that.Every time I looked at it, I thought of my grandmother and her deep love for that rose. A haunting story. Still vivid to me 70 years later.
What a wonderful way to honor Anne and her caretaking nature that blossomed to include Roses when she was 60. I loved the story and pictures of people working together, laughing, loving, and sharing time with one another. Thank you. Jolene
This is magical. My mom Ann (Annabelle)just passed at the age of 97 two weeks ago. My love of flowers and growing came from my grandmother. I plant flowers in my garden to remember people by. Last year I started my first rose garden (3) I am so looking forward to reading more from your blog. Whilst I have to add an Annabelle hydrangea to my garden this spring I will be adding more roses for my mom.
This story series has completely warmed my heart. What an absolute treasure and legacy Anne has given, and I know you will do her proud. That photo of you with your roses at the very top of the post, stopped me in my tracks. Simply stunning!
Ive been a rose lover for years and have several from heriloomroses. Im in Florida so roses are an uphill endeavor. The exchange is we get blooms almost all year. So excited for this series. Thank you!
This is amazing , I have learned gardening from my Mother and Mother in Law and I love Roses. I can not wait to read the rest of your rose series. I had over 30 rose bushes and climbing roses all bought at Christiansons Nursery but we recently moved and we have a lot of deer. so now I have to be creative. My dear girl friend suggested since our deck is so large to put some roses on the deck and that has worked beautifully.
Wow! What a wonderful experience! Anne sounds like a beautiful person! I love that she started this Journey of roses at the age of 60 as I started planting roses at 61. Maybe I have hope to have gorgeous roses like Anne!
I know how captivating old roses can be so it is a sheer miracle you got anything at all done. Bravo!!! Keep on cutting, identifying, photographing, propagating, restoring, weeding, watering, and saving as many of these treasures as you can. Thank you for doing all the work.
Thank you for sharing this story and helping to ensure her legacy lives on! I have always loved roses and dreamed of having a large rose garden. Unfortunately I selected a home with a lot of shade. After reading this post I am inspired to find a few spots for roses
I am so encouraged by your articles. I finally retired and moved to central Kentucky and am starting my gardens all over. I am not a hybrid tea rose lover, but I do love old roses and have had some luck with them. Looking forward to the next 3 parts of this. Thank you and the team for saving those roses! There is a magic in the beauty and smell of them that cannot be replicated.
So magical and what a wonderful opportunity to be able to collect such rare treasures. I hope one day to have a small plot of land covered in the flowers of my dreams! Thank you for always inspiring my dream to live on
I am an artist on Sanibel Island Florida, zone 10. I create pressed botanical art. Whenever I head north if there are roses to be cut and pressed I cut as many as I can to press. I had tried growing Florida roses years ago but never had any luck. I decided to do some research to see if there are newer varieties that can survive in Zone 10. I found Heirloom Roses . They offered several varieties of roses to choose from. I ordered The Fairy which is a compact type with beautiful small red flowers which press beautifully.
Once again thank you for your wonderfully informative articles.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring story of your journey with roses. It is wonderful that you are contributing to the legacy of such an important person in the world of heirloom roses, Anne Belovich. How satisfied she must have been to know that, at the end of her journey, her beloved roses would be researched, tended and continued through your genuine care and passion for the species. It will be so interesting to follow the journey of your cuttings as they mature and establish themselves in your own gardens, and slowly into gardens all over North America. Your meeting with Anne was meant to be!
Thank you for sharing the story and pictures. I am so very glad you are growing more of her roses. I once lived near a wonderful woman who grew a perennial garden over her entire property and kept a diary of where and when each plant bloomed. Her parents had the garden before her and she carried on their work. She could remember which plant her father bought her mother and for which occasion. There were one hundred year old still blooming peonies; roses that had the most incredible fragrance; so many treasures. Now, 50 years later, I still remember and feel inspired by her love.
