Christmas Roses

White-faced Winter Roses,
O'er the grave I plant you
Where the dead reposes,
That a soul may haunt you,
And your ghostly whiteness
In the Winter gloom,
Seem some spirit-brightness
Shining from the tomb!

Probably best known for his poem, "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes".

The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one:
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

Bourdillon was a Victorian English poet from Buddington, Sussex. He was born on March 22, 1852, and educated at Worcester College, Oxford. He was tutor to Prince and the Princess Christian at Cumberland Lodge.

Featured Rose - "Banksiae"
yellow banksiae rose
Absolutely stunning, when in full bloom. A mass of 1000s of pale yellow flowers, each one only 1-2 inches across. A light fragrance, as well as the almost total lack of thorns, make this rose a great addition to any garden.
