The Roses Get it
by Wilkie Collins
I haven't much time to be fond of anything...
but when I have a moment's fondness to bestow, most times... the roses get it.
I began my life among them in my father's nursery garden, and I shall end my life among them, if I can.
Yes. One of these days (please God) I shall retire from catching thieves, and try my hand at growing roses.
As featured onThe Daily Gardener podcast:
Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
