Rose of Sharon

Here dwells a rose all may embrace, a mystery well worth our time, thornless rose, the essence of grace. Here a spot, secured and sublime, a Gardner unspeakably wise, a mystery well worth our time. Enter some blooms with odd disguise, behold this garden’s rare design - a Gardner unspeakably wise. Planter engrafts them to His vine. “Peace comes to them on quiet feet” beholding garden’s rare design. "The summer night is still and sweet With flowers on every tree Peace comes to them on quiet feet" Splendor’s commons where all agree here dwells a rose all may embrace, “With flowers on every tree,” Thornless rose, the essence of grace.
