Xin Qiji is famous for his lyrics. Unlike ordinary poets, Xin Qiji is not only writing, he really led troops - he once led 50 cavalry in the Jin army camp of 50,000 people, and then captured the rebel general alive and retreated. Some geniuses are like this. They can easily reach a height that ordinary people cannot reach, as if this is not enough to make you desperate. People are still so amazing when changing fields.

There are also many great people like us in the rose stories before us. Like Thomas Hardy, he was a great novelist in his first half of his life. He was unhappy when he was writing, so he changed his position to write poetry, and he wrote it as a great poet.
The character mentioned below is even larger than Hardy.
1892, Sir Tennyson (also translated as Tennyson , the poet who wrote "The Charlotte Girl") passed away. The title of British Poet Laurent was vacant and was ready to be awarded to William Morris (1834-1896). This was a supreme glory, but Morris refused! The reason is that the connection between this title and the monarchy is inconsistent with his philosophy. We don’t care about the twists and turns in this, at least it shows that Morris was widely recognized as a poet at that time.
However, in later evaluations, his role in the British Arts and Crafts Movement was recognized to a greater extent. When it comes to Morris, the first thing that comes to mind is a designer rather than a poet. At the same time, he is also well-known as a novelist, translator, social activist, painter, craftsman, etc. Such a versatile talent cannot be admired. Morris's proposition: combining art and craftsmanship to create works with aesthetic quality and can be used by the public, which has a great impact on modern design.

William Morris 1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1887, the trend of the arts and crafts movement led by William Morris also blows on the Wirral Peninsula in Cheshire . The boss of a soap manufacturing company just bought a piece of land here and planned to build a corporate community. This was a popular model at that time, to build factories and workers' residential areas (this community was called model villages at the time). The boss's ideas were different from those of other business owners at that time. He believed that a good living environment could ensure the competitiveness of the company, which was a forward-looking thinking at the time.

In the community, hospitals, schools, concert halls, open-air swimming pools, churches and hotels are all available. It can be said that when a worker came to work in this soap company, he and his family lived a decent life.
This boss is called William Lever (1851-1925), and the company is called Lever Brothers, and it is the predecessor of the current home-grown giant Unilever Group . At that time, the company's main product was Sunshine brand soap, so this place was named "Sunshine Port". Now Sunshine Port has become a protected area and is preparing to apply for a World Cultural Heritage Site.
Sunlight Port Port Sunlight 2007
Austin named this rose in 2007, and specifically pointed out that there is a beautiful British rose garden in Sunlight Port. Sunshine Port is a shrub rose, which is blooming in many seasons, with medium tea aroma, apricot-colored flowers, shade-tolerant, can be cut flowers, and is excellent in disease resistance.
William Lever entered politics after his business success. His first speech in the House of Commons was to urge the government to provide more pensions for workers. The media at that time commented on him: "Lever's altruism is in sharp contrast with the anti-social attitude of modern business giants, who only consider profits and shareholders."

In addition to industrialists and politicians, William Lever is also a collector. He built the "Lady Lewa Art Museum" in Sunshine Harbor, which contains the "best in the world" (the art museum claims to be) British Waikkiwood porcelain collection, Chinese porcelain, as well as 18th-century paintings, furniture and sculptures.
Waikkiwood porcelain is famous for its excellent bone porcelain and has always been the supplier of imperial porcelain for the British royal family. The rose "Waikkiwood" launched in 2009 is just celebrating its 250th anniversary. (Widkickwood went bankrupt due to debt this year and was later acquired)

Widkickwood, a vine (can be used as a shrub), is open in many seasons, has a strong fruity aroma with a clove fragrance, a large rose pink flower, cup-shaped flower, excellent disease resistance, suitable for walls, arches, etc.
Interestingly, the grandson of Joshua Waikkiwood, the founder of Waikkiwood, is Charles Darwin . Biologist Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was born at Sallop, not far from Austin's nursery, which Austin named a rose in 2003.

Hales Walpoll is also a cross-border expert: in addition to being a politician, he also has a series of titles such as art historian, writer, and antique scientist. But what I am interested in is his house.
Hales Walpoll designed and renovated a Gothic villa from 1749 to 1776. At first he named the house "Shredded Cottage", but later inspired by an old lease and changed it to "Strawberry Mountain".

This building revived Gothic style (Walbor's literary style is also Gothic), and this mixed neo Gothic style created an architectural trend. Austin named it the rose in 2006.
Strawberry Hill 2006
Strawberry Hill, vine, open in many seasons, strong myrrh fragrance mixed with honey and lemon fragrance, pink large flowers, cup-shaped flower, not to shade, excellent disease resistance, suitable for walls, arches, etc.

In 2000, Austin named a rose after the beautiful mountain range "Mawenshan", not far from the south of the nursery. Ma Wenshan is a climbing rose, which is blooming in many seasons, with a light mixed fragrance, light yellow small and medium-sized flowers, shade-tolerant, less thorny plants, and excellent disease resistance. It is suitable for walls, fronts of houses, large arches and trellis.
Malvern Hills 2000
official website reads: Marvern Hill is considered to be a very excellent natural beauty. It is the hometown of the composer Sir Edward Elgar. When Westtan Hugh Oden (an English-American poet) lived here, he wrote many of his favorite poems; and John Ronald Riel Tolkien often strolls among the mountains.
It seems that there are many big names taking a walk in Mawenshan. Undoubtedly, Tolkien is the most famous writer. This writer who wrote magical classics such as " Hobbit " and "Lord of the Rings" is known as the father of modern fantasy literature. As we all know, Tolkien was originally a university professor, majoring in linguistics. The original intention of writing "The Hobbit" was derived from the desire to invent language, and developed from fictional language to fictional world and race, and then it became out of control. This turn is really gorgeous.

The last name that appeared today is a bit difficult to describe: Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Coleridge (1772-1834) is a British poet and literary critic. One of his most famous poems is called "The Poetry Rhyme of Ancient Sailors", which marks the beginning of British romantic literature. The story of this poem is simple. An ancient sailor tells a series of mysterious bad luck he suffered after killing an albatross during a voyage. In the end, the sailor understood the relationship between man and nature. As a romantic poet, Coleridge skillfully uses various supernatural elements in his poems, but expresses the theme of returning to nature and harmony.

Chelridge abandoned poetry and followed philosophy in middle age, studied Kant's idealism, and became a philosopher again. He was also a theologian and a key figure in the British theological community at that time.
The name of the rose "Ancient Sailor" launched in 2015 is taken from Coleridge's long poem "The Poetry Rhyme of Ancient Sailors". Ancient sailors were shrub roses, which bloomed in many seasons, had a strong myrrh fragrance, pink large flowers, cup-shaped flowers, shade-resistant, excellent disease resistance, and suitable for potted plants.
Ancient Mariner The Ancient Mariner 2015
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Although Xin Qiji is famous for his bold and unrestrained poems, he can also write graceful poems easily. Read this song "Xijiang Yue":
The bright moon leaves the branches and shocks the magpie, and the breeze roars in the middle of the night.
The fragrance of rice flowers says good harvest, and listen to the sound of frogs.
Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three rainy spots in front of the mountain.
In the old days, I suddenly saw the creek bridge by the forest.
"Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three rainy spots in front of the mountain", how fresh and timeless this sentence is!
The versatile and outstanding figures in history are as brilliant as the stars. I met several of them through the rose. Isn’t it a pleasure!
