新華網9月5日電 據英國《太陽報》報導，74歲的喬·羅賓遜已經失明20年了，但他多年來一直堅持每天花幾個小時澆水照料自己培育的玫瑰花海。這些玫瑰就養在羅賓遜老人的房子外面，由於太太希瑟對玫瑰花過敏，所以他只能親力親為。
退休前的羅賓遜在一家工廠工作，後來患上眼疾後逐漸失明。他說：「我一直都熱衷園藝，所以當我完全失明後，也從未有過放棄園藝的想法。」 「我雖然看不見，但我做園藝是憑藉觸覺和嗅覺。我以前種的玫瑰更多，現在少了，因為玫瑰刺太多。」
在當地花展上羅賓遜老人獲得了好幾個獎項，他的太太說：「我特別為他驕傲。」

GARDENER Joe Robinson waters part of the stunning floral display he has created outside his house despite being completely BLIND.
Joe, 74, lost his sight 20 years ago but still spends hours each day watering and tending his flowers. And because his wife Heather is allergic to plants he has to do it all himself.
Retired factory worker Joe went blind gradually after developing an eye condition when younger.
He said: 「I ve always been a keen gardener so when I became totally blind it never occurred to me to stop.
「I can t see what I m doing but I work by sense of touch and smell. I don t grow as many roses as I once did because of the thorns.」
He has won several prizes at a local flower show. Wife Heather said: 「I m very proud of him.」
