“When the bushes of roses are full,

As most of them are about June,

’Tis high time to gather, or pull

The leaves of the flowers. As soon

As you’ve picked all you need for the time,

To each quart of water unite

A peck of the leaves, which, if prime—

And they will be, if pulled off aright—

May be placed in a still near at hand,

On a very slow fire. When done,

Bottle off, and permit it to stand

For three days ere you cork down each one.”
