«Who can estimate the elevating and refining influences and moral value of flowers with all their graceful forms, bewitching shades and combinations of colors and exquisitely varied perfumes? These silent influences are unconsciously felt even by those who do not appreciate them consciously and thus with better and still better fruits, nuts, grains, vegetables and flowers, will the earth be transformed, man's thought refined, and turned from the base destructive forces into nobler production.» (citação daqui) George Schoener (1864 -1941) in The Importance and Fundamental Principles of Plant Breeding (Para a Rosa pela Gardénia ;-).
