Description
Roses are shining in Picardy
in the hush of the silver dew.
Roses are flowering in Picardy,
But there's never a rose like you.
And the roses will die with the summertime,
And our roads may be far apart.
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy.
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart.
Lyric by F.E. Weatherly
Go, lovely rose,
Tell her, that wastes her time and me,
That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.
Lyric by Edmund Walter
................................................................
Nature has long been utilized as a source of inspiration for writers, lyrists and artists. It is, therefore, not surprising that roses appear so often in literature and fine art as well as in legend and folklore. The bud, full blown flower and thorns of the rose have all been used as metaphors and motifs.

Rosa 'Abraham Darby'
Abraham Darby is a popular rose cultivar which was introduced by David Austin in England in 1985. The English rose was bred by crossing the climber 'Aloha' with the floribunda 'Yellow Chushion' and is named after the industrialist Abraham Darby. Wikipedia
