Description

The golden age of gardening owes much to the endeavors of a few key people, including Gertrude Jekyll, Vita Sackville West, Australia's Edna Walling and, in New Zealand, Nancy Steen. Born in 1898, Nancy displayed an early talent for gardening and art. During her lifetime she embraced a range of activities in htese two complimentary fields, including working as a studio artist in the 1920's, exhibiting regularly at the Auckland Society of Arts and developing and landscaping her own impressive garden. She dedicated herself passionately to the study and cultivation of old roses, and was keenly sought after as a speaker and writer. With her husband, she toured the countryside searching out old species of roses. Her authoritative book The Charm of OId Roses was published in 1966 and has ensured her a place among the world's authorities on old roses. Nancy Steen died in 1986.
