This sculpture decorates a recreation of a small rose garden that Hannah had planted here when she lived at Oakland, the Burnet's homestead along the San Jacinto River and Burnet Bay.
It is a reminder that this is a place that people lived, and they wanted it to be beautiful. It also adds elegance to this quiet garden with an expansive view of the shipping action on Burnet Bay.
