Flowers in Pretoria

It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.’ Gertrude Jekyll. We don’t know where we’re going, to pass through is enough; to pass through is to remain.’ -Octavio Paz. To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment. To analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music; it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy, than to attempt to fully understand. Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. Order without Freedom is Tyranny Freedom without order is chaos. The Rose is the perfume of the Gods, the joy of men, It adorns the Graces at the blossoming of love, It is the favoured flower of Venus. A garden is not a place: it is a passage, a passion. We don’t know where we are going, to pass through is enough, to pass through is to remain. Ludwig’s Roses was established in 1971, north of Pretoria.
