Our Mothers’ Gardens

“I began to look about me and saw instead the most beautiful roses I ever beheld, another of these exquisite southern flowers—the Cherokee rose. The blossom is very large, composed of four or five pure white petals, as white and as large as those of the finest Camellia, with a bright golden eye for a focus.”

Georgian Plantation in 1838–1839
