I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.~

Emma Goldman Theophrastus . . . calleth the Rose the light of the earth, the fairie bussie

toppe of the spring, the fire of love, the lightning of the land. John Parkinson, Theatrum Bo-

tanicum, 1640 9 Perhaps our best hope for gardening as an art is that gardening is an

activity whose never-achieved aim is progress towards a never- completed work of art. Geoffrey

Charlesworth, The Opinionated Gardener, 1988 9

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2) 9 The rose is a rose, and always was a rose. but the

theory now goes that the apple’s a rose, and the pear is, and so’s the plum I suppose. The dear

only knows what will next prove a rose. You, of course, are a rose -- but were always a rose.

Robert Frost, “The Rose Family” Collected Poems, 1930
