There are so many unexpected moments of rare beauty associated with roses. Even when the flowers are hidden in the fading light their perfume is held on the air: an all pervading reminder of the loveliness that will be there for us to enjoy through long, sunlit days. Though time may erode all things, yet the rose continues to build truth on legend until the position this flower holds in public esteem is assured for as long as there are gardens and gardeners to care for them.
