The story centers around the lives of James Canterton, a talented rose breeder, and his wife, Gertrude, who is preoccupied with social ambitions and community projects. Their contrasting interests highlight themes of artistic passion and the struggles of domestic life, setting the stage for tensions that may arise in their marriage. The opening of the novel introduces James Canterton as he eagerly awaits the blooming of his newly created rose, named "Guinevere," in his beautiful garden at Fernhill. As he sits in the serene rosery, his character is depicted as a patient and meditative artist, deeply connected to nature. The narrative shifts when his wife, Gertrude, interrupts his tranquil moment, revealing the strain in their relationship—while he finds joy in the subtle wonders of life, she is caught up in her social endeavors, often to the detriment of their domestic harmony. The contrast between their lives is further emphasized through the playful interactions with their daughter, Lynette, suggesting a familial bond that may serve as a counterbalance to the couple's disconnection.
