The phrase "gather roses" does not appear as a direct command or specific phrase in Ellen White's books. However, there are several references to roses, flowers, and the act of gathering or appreciating them, often used as illustrations of God's love, the beauty in creation, and the joys of heaven. For example: - Ellen White describes the beauty of flowers, including the "rose of Sharon," as expressions of God's creative power and love (1T 19.2). - In her visions of heaven, she describes fields of flowers, including roses and lilies, which the redeemed can pluck, noting that these flowers will "never fade" (2SG 53.1). - She encourages the appreciation and cultivation of flowers, seeing them as messengers of God's love and a source of comfort and joy (MH 264.3; Ed 247.6). - The act of gathering flowers is sometimes mentioned in heavenly scenes, where children and the redeemed gather never-fading flowers on the mountains of heaven (2SG 53.1). In summary, while "gather roses" is not a direct quote or command, Ellen White often uses the imagery of gathering or appreciating flowers, including roses, to illustrate spiritual lessons and the beauty of God's creation.
