Rhoda Fleming is a English country fiction novel written by George Meredith, an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times. Excerpts

The garden was under Mrs. Fleming's charge. The joy of her love for it was written on its lustrous beds, as poets write. She had the poetic passion for flowers. Perhaps her taste may now seem questionable. She cherished the old-fashioned delight in tulips; the house was reached on a gravel-path between rows of tulips, rich with one natural blush, or freaked by art. She liked a bulk of colour; and when the dahlia dawned upon our gardens, she gave her heart to dahlias.
