SweetBriar

sweetbriar - Eurasian rose with prickly stems and fragrant leaves and bright pink flowers followed by scarlet hips

取名sweetbriar,是出于对 Jane-Eyre 的喜爱。

名字源于下文:

Its garden, too, glowed with flowers: hollyhocks had sprung up tall as trees, lilies had opened, tulips and roses were in bloom; the borders of the little beds were gay with pink thrift and crimson double daisies; the sweetbriars gave out, morning and evening, their scent of spice and apples; and these fragrant treasures were all useless for most of the inmates of Lowood, except to furnish now and then a handful of herbs and blossoms to put in a coffin.

From: Jane Eyre by Bronte, Charlotte View in context
