A vision appears and the rose pleads that she may have a soul, that she also may live hereafter. The vision sends a soul into the rose, presents her with a basket of flowers, and instructs her to sell them on the streets and the basket will be filled every morning. The rose becomes a human being. She takes humble lodgings in London, dresses poorly but nearly, and goes out to sell the contents of the baskets, then goes home to rent. In the morning she again goes out, making her stand usually on one corner. She soon becomes known and customers come regularly. Jack Bellingham buys a flower every morning and being attracted by her beauty pauses for a few minutes chat. Rose is entranced and one day Jack proposes that she shall meet him for an evening's enjoyment. She has saved a little money and with it she buys a simple white frock and hat. She meets Jack as per appointment and he takes her to an Italian restaurant for dinner after which they go to a theater. On the way home in a cab, Jack encircles her with his arm and she lays her head upon his shoulder. On parting at the door the man takes her in his arms and kisses her passionately. For a few weeks Jack is regular in his visits and attentions, then one Saturday morning he tells Rose that he cannot see her that afternoon as he has to entertain some friends of his mother. The girl is sad and goes to the park, where she sees her lover with two ladies in a carriage. The one is elderly, the other young and beautiful. The girl turns away. The next morning she is not at her post and Jack looks for her in vain. In the evening he goes to the lodging house and the landlady invites him into the parlor and sends the girl to him. She asks who were the ladies. Jack tells her that they were the wife and daughter of his employer and that his mother wants him to marry the girl. Rose asks him if he intends to carry out his mother's wishes. He will not commit himself and when they part Rose refuses to kiss him. She faints and is taken to her room, where she lies ill for weeks. When she becomes convalescent Jack is permitted to visit her in her room. He tells her he cannot live without her and begs her to become his wife. A week or two later there is a modest wedding. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
