Authored by Lloyd Chapman

Lloyd Chapman inherited his love of roses from his mother Joy, one of the pioneers of New Zealand rose conservation.


Born at the end of the second world war, Lloyd embarked on a late career as a rose nurseryman in his forties. Defying convention, he successfully grew roses on their own roots in a no-spray regime.

In time, he and his wife Ann developed a collection of over 1,500 roses in their 4 acre Otaki garden.


Lloyd’s fascination with rambling roses lead him to collect all the roses produced by the French Barbier family in Orleans. He made several trips to France, the traditional home of ‘heritage’ roses.With the help of generous French rosarians, Lloyd’s book charts the production by Albert Barbier and his family of over 60 roses, from 1900 to 1930.
