Hello, my friend!! Thank you for your question!!There is an allegory in the use of roses, which signify a juxtaposition of two extremes, in the sense that roses are the ultimate flower which everybody could long to get and are the ones to be offered to our beloved. They can unexpectedly prick you because of the thorns, hidden underneath the petals. They look approachable and make you want to touch them but this is a deception-such as...

The rose garden represents many things, here is an excerpt from the enotes: The fact that Death appears in the rose garden underscores the place of death in the order of the natural world. He not only encounters the Gardener there but the Master as well, emphasizing that death’s dominion is nature itself. A rose garden is a place of great beauty, but that beauty is seasonal. When the season changes, the roses wither and die. So, too, with...

It is very difficult to say why any poet writes any single poem. However, we can point out some biographical and artistic factors that give us some of the reasons. First, the poem was dedicated to Mark Strand, a friend of Justice; Strand often wrote about death. Second, the poem was written in the 1960s, when the images from the Vietnam War were flooding America, and everyone was aware of the possibility of violent death. Third, he wrote...

Yes, that would be personification exactly. It starts as soon as Justice has the gardener refer to death as "he," and says that he "stood there." Any time a writer gives an inanimate object (or, in this case, abstract idea) human identity, that's personification.
